Yeah, if you have that trait that makes cilantro taste like soap, stay far away from this drink. Now I'm not sure if there was any meat infusion or component, as I picked up on a subtle meaty scent but did not taste one. The other scent I got was CILANTRO. Did you see the cilantro garnish?

The pickled vegetable flavor of a bánh mì comes through very nicely, and they accurately got the green chilli spice from the sandwich, which differs from the jalapeño or habanero spice you find in most spicy drinks.

Unfortunately, I tasted no bread. I think if they found a way to add that to the drink, it would be quite special. With that said, I think it's hard to create a more accurate representation of a bánh mì in liquid form, and it was quite enjoyable.

The look gives me black-tie event hosted in an art gallery; the smell and taste give me Skrewball. Now, that's not an inherent dig. I like Skrewball enough, and I did order a drink with peanut-infused whiskey haha. I'm just more surprised, based on the ingredients, that that is how it was presented.

It's pretty much a whiskey sour, which I'm totally here for. The menu description said it would taste like peanut soup (never had that, but assumed it was Vietnamese), and maybe I just don't have the palate to pick that distinction up.

Overall, a solid cocktail, but nothing that is changing the game.
