The weather is seriously starting to heat up in Phnom Penh and it’s feeling like summer! We have a

3/4 oz. lemongrass-ginger syrup
1/2 oz. soju
6 oz. dry sparkling sake, such as Zipang
1 thick slice of kiwi, cut into a square, for garnish
6” section of fresh lemongrass, cleaned and peeled, for garnish
