HISTORY IN A COCKTAIL

The Phoenician Resurgence is a salute to Beirut, says bartender Olson Pereira, of Hôtel Phoenicia. “Beirut has been destroyed and rebuilt seven times and this cocktail is inspired by the Phoenician spirit to rise again.” With hints of cinnamon and thyme, it’s also a nod to some of Lebanon’s favourite flavours.
