A loving homage to Riva Bar in Berlin’s Alarmed Bison, this spicy strong-aroma cocktail is sweet yet fiery—just like real-life Chinese dragons.

*Johann’s recipe for chili-cinnamon-clove syrup:
250 ml Water
250 g Sugar
2 sticks Cinnamon
2 small dried chilis (hot enough that it’s not fun eating them on their own, yet far away from doom-habaneros)
4 Cloves
Put all together in a small pot, stir and put on high heat. Let it boil heavily for about two minutes, then strain it and fill into a bottle. Aim for a christmassy smell and a warm, not hot chili-mouthfeel like from chili chocolate.
