Kim-Trump summit inspires entrepreneurs in Hanoi

Описание: (26 Feb 2019) The summit this week between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump may be a chance to advance the cause of world peace - for canny entrepreneurs, though, it's an opportunity to make a buck - or a dong, in Vietnamese currency.
A bar near Hanoi's old quarter, the Unicorn Pub, is noted for the elaborate libations it concocts.
The bar's summit "Rock It, Man" drink, according to the pub's website, is a diplomatic blend of Korean So Ju and American Bourbon with a flare of Fireball whiskey to match the personalities of Kim and Trump.
Orange in colour, it is a bit sharp, bitter, but finishes sweet.
The drink was named after Trump's less-than-complimentary "Little Rocket Man" nickname for Kim when tensions were still high over Pyongyang's long-range missile tests.
Robert Gibb, whose two partners in the bar include his wife Trinh Xuan Dieu, said the new cocktail's name sounded fun and celebrates "maybe for the first time in generations, opening up a country, opening the whole part of the world that was so tense for so long."
Another restaurant also in the city's old quarter has added to its summit menu burgers called the "Durty Donald" and the "Kim Jong Yum."
The historic occasion, acknowledged Irishman Colin Kelly, is an unusual opportunity to drum up publicity for his Durty Bird fried chicken and burger restaurant.
Conceiving the special dishes was something of a must-do, as his establishment already has numerous dishes with amusing and punning names, said Kelly, who founded the establishment with two old friends.
The accompanying sauce is Russian dressing, Kelly added mischievously.
