This week we lean in to our shochu's and try to create some cocktails that really speak to some of the unique flavors of the shochu's we tried. Deciding to take Nankai out of the mix, as we will for be drinking that next week, we played with the notes of the Iichiko blends. We talk all things vaccines and cocktails, as you do. Enjoy as we play with this spirit that continues to inspire us and intrigue us!

Tequila Month: Week 2
Well this taste test comes with a side of crazy. We hit the ground running in a silly fashion. Do you say horse or horsy'? Does your life come with a side of whimsy? Guess which one of us prefers joy! Anyway, we taste test 4 blanco tequilas (supposed to be 5, but some coloring issues x'ed one out). Hope you enjoy this journy into crazy town and yet again, the blind test results in shock and awe!
Tequila Month: Week 1
After a brief hiatus we are back in the swing of drinking. We discuss what we were up to while we were out. We discuss the world reopening. We drink margaritas as we dip our toes into the world of this agave beauty. Enjoy as we explore blanco tequilas.
Shochu Month: Week 4
This week we welcome our very special guest Paul Nakayama, the co founder of Nankai Group and crowd favorite Nankai Shochu. We drink a varity of cocktails, play with everything from a kimchi reduction to wasabi salt to a play on a mai tai. Tackling topics from the founding of kogi to some of the real life issues today. Hope you all enjoy learning more about this amazing spirit and it's history. We go a little more nerdy than usual and we go a bit longer. We loved having Paul on and we were honored to share recipes, ideas, and histories with him for a couple of hours!
