Chinese New Year
La Strega’s team of master-mixologists have created a cocktail surrounding the Chinese New Year that is available from Feb. 10 to Feb. 19. The Bull in a China Shop is a variation of the classic China Blue cocktail, and is made with vodka, lychee liqueur, Blue Curacao, grapefruit, lime, cane, brandy cherry and a splash of club soda.
- ¼ oz of Cane
- ½ oz Lime
- ¾ oz Fresh grapefruit juice
- ¾ oz Blue Curacao
- 1oz Vodka
- 1oz Lychee liqueur
- Highball glass + orange half moon and cherry garnish
Gather the ingredients, shaker tin, and jiggers for measuring each ingredient. Using the smaller tin, begin to build out the drink. When all ingredients are in the tin, add ice to fill the smaller tin and the highball. Use the larger tin to create a seal. Shake the drink. Open the tin and double strain into the highball glass that has been prepped with ice. Add a splash of soda, garnish, and enjoy.
