History

Savoury and spicy, this is an aperitivo cocktail; unless a chili-spiced kick-start to the day over breakfast is required, in which case renaming it Wakey Wakey is suggested. Its enlivening spice has a curry-like appeal, making this cocktail difficult to stop sipping.

This recipe is adapted from one created in September 2022 by Juan Jose Orellano Peñalver, a bartender at The Savoy Hotel located in London, England. Juan Jose stated that he drew “inspiration from the Bamboo cocktail, my roots from South of Spain and my travelling time in Asia.”
