The story behind Yangon Rum Sour
This house sour pairs dark rum with palm-sugar jaggery and lime, flavors at home in Myanmar’s tropical pantry. Bitters and egg white create a polished Yangon-inspired serve.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
