A blueberry and sage julep, and one of the only times I have called something loaded with butter “refreshing.”

rye, brown butter, blueberry, sage, bitters

This is a riff on a pisco sour revolving around the flavors of grape soda. It is fruit-forward, tart, and intensely crushable.

pisco quebranta, concord grape, verjus, bitters,
rosemary foam

This is a clarified pandan painkiller I made to show off the herb and fruit notes of cachaca. It is tropical in vibe but round in flavor and mouthfeel.

I don’t typically go for NA cocktails that are attempts at a 1:1 version of a classic. I made this to prove myself wrong. A non-alcoholic negroni that is bitter and complex.

This is a riff on Takuma Watanabe’s ‘Tea Ceremony’ at his bar ‘Martiny’s.’ Playing with the toasty and nutty notes of the yoka koji, this rich and umami old fashioned will leave you feeling cozy.

A Fall fruit cocktail featuring a home-made Grenadine. It’s a great fall cocktail for those who stray away from apples and spice.

This was the 2nd place cocktail on the JSS 2024 Shochu Cocktail Competition. Meant to be the perfect pairing for Tonkotsu Ramen, this is a Kyushu-inspired Hot Toddy.

This is what you would get if a Mint Julep and a Mai Tai had a baby. This cocktail is tart, nutty, and super refreshing.

This was one of the cocktails from my first menu, and it eventually became one of the most popular cocktails at the bar. A tropical and spicy take on the Blood and Sand, it’s a great intro for those who are starting to try mezcal.

A creamy, tart, and vegetal spiritfree cocktail. It’s complex and herbaceous nature make it a great option for people who are afraid of non-alcoholic cocktails being “too sweet”.

This is a more spirit-forward take on Kenta Goto’s Sakura martini. Playing on lychee’s ability to pair with floral flavors, this take on a martini is the perfect drink for cherry blossom season.

A bourbon jungle bird. This exotic cocktail is great for those looking to dip their toes into the word of amaro. The caffo vecchio adds herbaceous bitterness, while the ramazotti adds a round, rooty profile.

A pink negroni. This floral and lightly bitter cocktail is like the baby sibling to a classic negroni - and a great introduction to aperitif cocktails.

This is a punch originally created for a halloween party that is a go-to for me whenever I need to make a lot of drinks for a lot of people. It’s fruity, herbaceous, and incredibly easy to drink.

This cocktail is designed to be paired with simple fish dishes. The herbs from the gin, vermouth, and thyme syrup are balanced out by the roundness of the olive oil.
