Hi, Boys and girls are all fired up.

I'm the founder.

Oh, girls, chicken, breaking, baby, and we're all about it.

Hi, everyone. You're listening to Radio Cherrybaum, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond.

I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine.

Today, we are bringing you another episode of our travel miniseries, Destination Cherry Bomb.

It's the last of our Las Vegas episodes, although there are so many women from the Vegas scene I would still love to interview.

So, who knows?

But for now, we are rapping with a true original, Zhu Young Kang, the award-winning director of beverage development at the

Fountain Blue in Las Vegas. I met Zhu Young for the first time when I was in Vegas the other week

and was blown away by her and her creations. I visited the China Club restaurant and the Azul bar at Fountain Blue

to try some of her cocktails and mocktails, and they were layered and thoughtful and creative

with with ingredients I'd never thought of playing around with in a cocktail, like almond milk and tea.

Also, in honor of our conversation, and I might have to apologize to Zhu Young for this,

but I had my very first espresso martini at the resort's blue bar.

I know I'm pretty late to the espresso martini party,

but I now understand why it is the most popular cocktail in Las Vegas.

Jew Young has had a fascinating journey through the beverage world, starting in Philadelphia.

She is representative of the new wave of culinary creatives in Las Vegas,

and I can't wait for you to meet her.

Stay tuned for my chat with Zhu Yang Kang.

The special destination cherry bomb series is presented by Las Vegas.
