Get served: Saigon

Libations

A twist of lemon curls decorate the lip of a bright green Zentini ($6.50), soaking up the Zen green tea liqueur, Smirnoff citrus vodka, and fresh lime juice inside. The earthy sweetness of green tea balances the citrus pucker, giving this Asian-inspired cocktail a mature and balanced taste. Saigon’s Lichitini ($6.50) combines Sobo lychee liqueur, Smirnoff vodka and lime juice, along with a plump lychee garnish that begs to be sucked and savored.

Saigon also offers a variety of hard-to-find Asian beers, and bubble tea in a number of flavors ($4), served with a fat straw for slurping tapioca balls.
