The faces of Bayon Temple
In 2000, the first Tomb Raider movie was filmed at the Bayon and Ta Prohm temples surrounding Angkor Wat In Cambodia.
During down time from filming, Angelina Jolie supposedly hung out at a joint called the Red Piano in the nearby city of Siem Reap. Her drink of choice stuck with the bartender, who named it after her character. Now, the Tomb Raider is available in every bar in town.
I gave this cocktail a whirl at the Temple Bar next door to the Red Piano. It was really refreshing, although a bit heavy on the tonic. If you like bittersweet apertifs like Campari, Gancia, or Aperol, you'll enjoy this drink.
