You’d expect a cocktail named from a Chinese civil war to have a kick – and you’d be right!

Taking its name from a Chinese civil war of the 11th Century, Rebellion of the Three Guards is a winter warmer from the clever mixers at Chung Ying Central. The drink takes the lead from Hibiki which utilises whisky from Chita, Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries to make its blend. This drink takes these three whiskies and blends them into an Old Fashioned using maple syrup. Unlike the combatants in the Chinese war, act responsibly when you drink…
