Saigon Sunset is a sensory journey through Việt Nam's bustling tropical fruit markets. This cocktail brings together a colourful medley of fresh apple, orange, watermelon and passion fruit, elevated by the botanical depth of the Saigon Baigur Gin and the crisp freshness of tonic. The perfect companion to a warm, relaxing evening is made by Mạnh Hùng, captain of Sông Hồng Bar, Pan Pacific Hà Nội.
