Autumn and winter is the prime time for boozy stir-down cocktails to be enjoyed in front of the roaring fireplace. So, with autumn setting in, it is a perfect time to look for new recipes for the cold season ahead. Nippon Cocktail ticks all the boxes for a strong warming drink ideally suited for cold time of the year.
As the name suggests, base of the cocktail is fine blended Japanese whisky with delicate notes of vanilla, honey and signature oak. Traditional pairing of sweet vermouth brings bitter-sweet flavour of wormwood, caramel and fruity raisins. Twist to the cocktail comes in the form of sweet warming ginger liqueur introducing a touch of signature fiery heat.
All in all, Nippon Cocktail is a deceptively simple, yet complex drink perfect to be enjoyed after a long and tiring day.
