Another rum event

It's black truffle season, which means fans of the fancy fungus can head for the nearest high-end European eatery for a memorable meal. Did that last year? Then head for Sanlitun's latest attention-getting soft opening, Botany, for owner Frankie Zou's inspired signature cocktail, the black-truffle rum martini. It's a blend of homemade Roma bitters, tropical fruit, Captain Morgan's dark rum, toasted spice garnish and black truffles from Yunnan province. It's 95 yuan ($14.60).

Daily 7 pm-1 am, 1209-2 Yongli International Service Apartment, Chaoyang district; 010-6463-6091.
