A bar in southern China has become trendy on social media for providing cocktails which allows customers to indulge in a traditional “beat the villain” ritual in an effort to drive away bad luck.

The drink, called a “Villain Hitting Cocktail” which is served at the Lotus Lounge bar in Guangzhou, Guangdong province boasts that it will let you banish bad energy with a slipper in your hand.
According to a video clip which attracted 50,000 likes and 130,000 shares on a leading social media platform, after a customer makes an order, a waiter brings a wooden box that contains a cup of cocktail and a plastic female slipper on the box.
Customers can opt for smacking the “villain” themselves or ask the waiter to do it on their behalf while they simply watch the process.
“Please help me whack those I dislike and whack my troublesome boss,” a woman who shot the video is heard telling the waiter.
The waiter is then seen holding the slipper to beat a piece of green incantation paper on the box. Customers can write down the name of the “villains” on the paper beforehand.
