What is the Hanami Cocktail?
Hanami Cocktail is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. Crafted with Roku Gin as its base, this cocktail is a harmonious blend of elderflower tonic, blossom Monin syrup, yuzu Monin puree, and a splash of lime juice. The addition of apple blossom flowers, elderflower, and a shiso leaf not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes to the cocktail’s refreshing, fruity, and citrusy profile, with subtle notes of rosella.
