“We love the way that the sweetness of the chamomile syrup and the rum in this cocktail really bring out the sweetness and tenderness of a prawn cutlet sando, but also work to counterbalance the subtle spice of the kimchi in this snack,” says chef-owner Clinton McIver. Serve these two at your next cocktail party and you’ll be the hero of the hour.
