What I’m Drinking Now: Colin Neil Stevens and the Girl From Ipoh

Colin Neil Stevens

Colin Neil Stevens is the beverage director at Kebaya in New York, a new Peranakan restaurant from Fungi Hospitality group.


This cocktail is a milk punch that is lively and versatile, elegant and effortlessly perfect in every context. Just like the girl from Ipoh herself. Girl From Ipoh is made using pandan, vegetal tannins, Batavia arrack, pineapple and lime, which are mixed together and clarified using the milk wash technique. This technique reduces the harsher elements of alcohol while leaving the softer flavors intact and creating a light and delicate texture. The finished product is a punch that is lively, versatile and elegant.
