WHAT
Hakkasan’s Golden Emperor
A fall-forward cocktail, Hakkasan‘s Golden Emperor has that end of the evening kick that hits just right. Blame it on the spice of the rum or squirm from that ginger, but—between savory courses of the hotspot’s Cantonese-inspired cuisine—it’s a sure and steady flame.

- 2 oz. Fresh pineapple juice
- 1.5 oz. Kraken Black Spiced Rum
