8 Of The Best Lunar New Year Cocktails To Usher In The Year Of The Dragon

Hana Makgeolli’s Head Bartender Molly McClintock’s Takju Negroi was featured in Forbes list, “8 Of The Best Lunar New Year Cocktails To Usher In The Year Of The Dragon”. Thank you Karla Alindahao for the coverage!

“‘The Takju Negroni is just a super simple riff on the classic. I think it’s a great example of how powerful and versatile Makgeolli is in cocktails. Essentially, the addition of Takju 16 helps round the harsher elements of the gin and Campari, it gives the drink a silky mouthfeel, and it also imbues the drink with these wonderful tropical notes like pineapple and melon that go so wonderfully with this highly customizable classic. Here's a palate opener before you dive into a big Lunar New Year feast!’ —Molly McClintock, head bartender at the Hana Makgeolli Tasting Room (Greenpoint, New York)”
