UNION | 丝路始航 The Silk Road Story - Chapter I

- 西安 Xian -

十三朝古都西安是中国历史上无数传奇的见证者，同时它也是丝绸之路的始发站。只有非常有韵味和质感的鸡尾酒才能代表这座城市的独特气质。我们用西安的特产大枣和桂花来诠释当地的风味。朗姆具有强烈的橡木桶风味，比如：焦糖，烟熏香草的味道，恰好和大枣的甜蜜很搭配，再加入一点点的桂花的味道，使酒体更加轻盈和平衡。

Xian is known as one of the ancient capitals for 13 dynasties as well as the starting city of the North silk road. In this cocktail, we use Xian's date and osmanthus infused rum to deliver a caramelized and smoked vanilla flavour which balance the sweet taste from the date, while the osmanthus gives a subtle finish to the drink.

- 四川 Sichuan -

因为丝绸之路起源于唐代，而那个时候的货币，除了银子以外，来自四川的丝绸同样给可以作为流通货币，在当时双面蜀绣，锦绣名满天下。受到这种精细纺织品的启发 Matthew 创造了一种绝妙鸡尾酒，尝起来像丝绸一样柔滑，同时使用了四川花椒的来增加口感。

The south route began during the Tang dynasty when Sichuan silk was as valuable as currency for trading. Inspired by this refined textile, Matthew created an elixir that taste just as smooth as silk along with the prominent chilis from Sichuan that spice up the experience.
