The cold is beginning to bite in Beijing. But don't let that stop you from heading out to try new food and drink in the capital this November. If anything, we'd say it's all the more reason to cosy up with a delicious new dish, tasty cocktail or whatever tickles your fancy.

‘Drink Local’ is a new cocktail menu from Superfly with carefully-crafted drinks designed to give customers a taste of Beijing in the 80s and 90s. 

Drinks like BERRY NICE are made with a combination of rum, mulberry, smoked plum, blueberry juice, blackcurrant liqueur and egg white.

Kudos to the legendary Han Meimei, leading character of middle school English textbooks for the 80s generation. The flavors of dark berries are carried throughout the BERRY NICE cocktail, pairing with the tropical sensation of rum to give you a balanced and smooth cocktail. The presentation may bring a bit of childhood nostalgia to you.
