Gaijin is a restaurant in Chicago known for its boozy Kakigori dessert. This delicious treat starts with pandan which has been macerated into syrup.
Julius H. White Jr., the restaurant's general manager, and beverage director, was drawn to using pandan after pastry director Angelyne Canicosa used it in ice cream and as a glaze for mochi donuts.
Pandan is known for its unique tropical and herbaceous notes, says White. The pandan syrup is combined with rum, vodka, and tequila to create a delicious beverage.
