Here are a few of the drinks at Café Chinois that caught our attention.
Rangoon Ruby
Sweet, but not too much, and refreshing. This drink, and its lovely red-purple hue, is true to its name. The combination of gin, lemon and hibiscus is served in a coupe glass with a candied blossom.
Birds of Hanoi
A blend of Japanese whisky, Aperol and sweet vermouth is the Café Chinois take on classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Boulevardier. It’s served on the rocks, in a dragon-emblazoned glass
Tata Rere
For those who want to drink their dessert, try this combination of vodka, cà phê sua đá ca (or Vietnamese iced milk coffee) and chocolate bitters – served martini style and topped with shaved chocolate. Thompson included cocktails named for her three children. This is Bartsch s entry, whose younger family members call her ta ta re re.
