Seasonal Shochu Cocktails

We've updated our shochu cocktail menu with some seasonal (read: hot) drinks!

Now serving:

YUSO HOT: yuzu extract, simple syrup, hot water, shochu

RINGO SUTA: hot apple cider, cinnamon, shochu

SHISO HOT: shiso mint, lemon, simple syrup, hot water, shochu

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that's often compared to grapefruit. That probably is the best way to describe it to someone who's never tried it before, but trust us, it has a wonderful flavor all its own!

Ringo means apple in Japanese, and to really "get" the name of that cocktail you need to say it the way you would in Japan--which means skipping over the "u" sound between two consonants.

Ringo s ta...ringo staa...ringo starr? A bit of a stretch, maybe, but absolutely delicious!
