Tokyo Sour
This delightful Kocktail original ‘sour’ is lifted to dizzying heights by the inclusion of a mere splash of the gorgeous Akashi-Tai Ginjo Yuzushu - a marvellous Japanese sake flavoured by the maceration of yuzu fruit into the premium ‘ginjo’ grade sake.
Sake has held a prominent place in Japanese culture since as far back as the 3rd Century BCE. It is the drink of the gods of the indigenous Japanese Shintō religion and even forms an integral part of traditional Shintō weddings, as the lucky couple drink sake from lacquer cups during the proceedings.
We’re excited to be able to include this historic and delicious ingredient alongside the extraordinarily smooth Wheatley Vodka and a mix of both lemon and lime juice for a snappy take on the classic ‘sour’ format.
