It's almost Halloween and I wanted to highlight the most popular candy in my area. In China White Rabbit is not just a delicious sweet, it's a cultural icon.⁣
⁣ The candy is given out to children as a reward and on holidays and it's history goes back to the 1940's. Originally the candy was called Micky Mouse ABC sweets and featured a cartoon image of Micky, because even in the 1940's China didn't give a shit about copyrights. During the revolution the candy ditched the Western imperialist mouse and was rebranded as White Rabbit.⁣
⁣
White Rabbit was popular among students who would dissolve it in water to make a milk-like drink. It was even given to Nixon on his trip to China. ⁣
⁣
Internationally it's mostly known for recalls because some candies have been contaminated with formaldehyde and melamine, but hey that's China. Spooky. ⁣
⁣
This cocktail is a take on Bourbon Milk Punch using white rabbit milk drink in addition to milk. ⁣
