Mama San G&T (S$22.00) was one of the two Smoking Bubble Cocktails that seemed to be very posh with the citrus smoking bubble on top of the drink concocted with Roku Gin, Yuzu juice, lemonade, Sensho pepper and sparkling water.

Unfortunately, other than the theatrical moment of bursting the bubble, the beverage was merely average at best with strong notes of juice and lemonade. The Sensho pepper was barely picked up by smell (and hardly by taste), and there was hardly a taste of alcohol even after large sips. Fancy, but didn’t work that well for me.

By the way, I wasn’t sure if the drink should be stirred frequently, for the pulp and zest would gather at the bottom of the glass.
