Nankai Shochu
Nankai Shochu mixes well with pretty much everythi Nankai Shochu mixes well with pretty much everything, but there are some clear standouts, like this Ube Horchata cocktail from the uber talented Irwin, beverage director of @thechickenkoop in Alhambra, CA.

Irwin combines homemade black rice horchata with ube condensed milk, and it works incredibly well with our kokuto shochu. Nankai co-founders Paul and Mai can’t get enough of this one.

UBE HORCHATA-HAI
1.5 oz Nankai Shochu
3 oz Horchata
0.5 oz Ube Condensed Milk

Combine and shake with ice. Strain into a  glass over ice and enjoy.  Multiply everything by 3 if you want to save time and just make your next rounds now.  Seriously.

The Hot Toddy originally began in British-controll The Hot Toddy originally began in British-controlled India in the 1610s, and the name comes from the Hindi word “taddy,” referring to a drink made from fermented palm sap. This is interesting to us, since it’s said that Amami locals used to make shochu from toxic sago palm trees when rice or sugar cane were prohibited.

Here is our version of the Hot Toddy, made with Nankai Gold, which features a palm frond on the label as an homage.

NANKAI TADDY
1.5 oz Nankai Gold
0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Honey
4 oz Jasmine Tea

Boil 1 cup of water. Remove from heat and add jasmine tea leaves. Cover and steep for 5-10 min. Strain and add shochu, lemon, and honey.  Stir and serve hot.

Join us for two special cocktails celebrating Japanese Shochu created by Bar Director Tobin Shea and team through February 19th. 

The Skyscraper is a refreshing highball that lends itself to a great start to an evening. It truly allows the shochu to be the star. The carbonation helps it further become an aroma angel. The Beach Cruiser integrates shochu as part of a synergy of ingredients all highlighting each other including Japanese rum, coconut, cinnamon and allspice. Its rich umami flavors stand out amongst other tropical ingredients.

Both cocktails are available during happy hour and dinner here. Additional shochu creations can be found at other local friend bars including Death & Co, Thunderbolt, Normandie Club, Wolf & Crane, Big Bar, Kodo and more. Learn more on link in profile. #redbirdla #shochu #japaneseshochu
