Ryokō-sha (Traveller)

The inspiration behind this cocktail, as explained by bartender Nick Park, “Japanese culture is focused on achieving perfection through refined methods. Other spirits that I consider share this trait: Tequila & Nocino. Whisky, Tequila, and Nocino are based on ancient methods & have followed us throughout parts of human history. Nocino’s spice notes and slight sweetness blend perfectly with the spices of Nikka. Like a sweet vermouth/amaro element of Boulevardier, with a bit more bite & richness. Blanco Tequila to support the heat & flavour without pulling away from the barrel notes, and adding another type of richness. This is a global drink focused on refinement.”
