These things come in cycles. Vodka was trending in the 2000s with Grey Goose becoming the\u00a0drink of the decade<\/a>. Now it\u2019s gin\u2019s turn\u2026not that the drink is new. In fact, the spirit was first imbibed as a herbal medicine in the middle ages. But today, people are\u00a0drinking more<\/a>\u00a0of the liquor than ever before.<\/p>\n

Gin Fest Saigon is bringing together fourteen bartenders (and seven different gins from the historic Bols Genever to the no-fuss No.3 London Dry Gin) at Ho Chi Minh City\u2019s first official celebration of the juniper drink.<\/p>\n

That gave us chance to check in with the fourteen bars lending their prized bartenders to the competition. Here, in part two, we present the second group of seven. Some of the competing cocktails from this group are colorful, and lots take inspiration from the bartenders\u2019 childhoods and hometowns sometimes far outside of the city.<\/p>\n

Added together, they create a \u201cperfectly balanced, smooth, unmistakably classic London Dry Gin.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the No.3 London Dry Gin has juniper at its heart, at the heart of Tim\u2019s cocktail is Saigon itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up here in Saigon,\u201d the bartender begins. \u201cI remember when I was 11 or 12 years old, and I had a sore throat. My grandma gave me some sweet honey mixed with sour passion fruit\u2026and I felt better straight away,\u201d he smiles about the ingredients he\u2019s incorporated into his No.3 De Fleurs.<\/p>\n
