Inside Postcards From Japan
Hokkaido Glory Cocktail: Patrick’s first stop on his trip is Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island and home to the infamous Samurai soldiers. The legacy of the Samurai is still prevalent throughout Japanese culture - in fact, one of Japan’s most renowned distilleries is named “Eiko”, the Japanese word for glory. In Hokkaido Glory, Eiko Vodka’s refreshing flavour profile provides the perfect backdrop for the complex umami flavours in Ancho Reyes and Cointreau.
Hokkaido Pleasure Cocktail: Japan’s northern island Hokkaido is synonymous with snowy peaks and breathtaking mountain scenery, and a day isn’t complete without sinking into the local “onsen”, or hot springs. Here, Patrick invites us to unwind in the unspoilt natural landscape of Hokkaido with the crisp botanical flavours in Hokkaido Pleasure. Mouthwatering green apple and tart citrus flavours pair well with the Etsu Gin’s distinctly floral profile, resulting in a refreshing cocktail inspired by Japanese springtime.
Okinawa Pure Beauty Cocktail: A world away from the mountains of Hokkaido, Patrick now finds himself among swaying palms in Okinawa, a tropical oasis in southern Japan. Okinawa is famed for its blissfully warm climate; perfect weather for a Japanese-inspired Daiquiri. The Okinawa Pure Beauty cocktail, made with smooth Kiyomi Rum, is a refined tropical classic thanks to the tart, aromatic citrus flavours of Yuzu Liqueur.
Kurayoshi Heritage Cocktail: Kurayoshi Heritage is named for the final stop on Patrick’s journey across Japan, the verdant city Kurayoshi. Here, between the mountains and the sea, he finds a world-famous Japanese whisky distillery home to Tottori whisky. Tottori whisky is particularly popular in Japan, thanks to its careful blend of sweetness, spice and a hint of smoke. Combined with King’s Ginger Liqueur, which brings a welcome richness and warmth, it creates an elevated whisky sour for sipping year round.
