Thank you so much, Robert! This is a lovely write up. Means so much to me (like a birthday, or a pretty view).

Also, apparently the measurements for Her Name is Rio didn’t survive the trip to press as well as Abigail’s garnish. Thanks for printing the corrected ones here.

It’s really yummy. I’ve made it (though with my own cocktail cherries instead of fresh. Highly recommend that route if you have any of your own left).

I think that was the crazy priced one. Unsurprisingly, I have not tried it on my 2 visits!

30 years ago, I drank at the Raffles Bar in Singapore but my most delightful Chinese drinking memory is sweet rice balls in fermented rice wine aged 30 years in a decrepit village near Shanghai where they had buried the amphora for years to keep it from the local Communist cadres who would have stolen it.
