Step into a realm of imaginative libations with me as I draw inspiration from the enchanting aisles of my neighborhood Asian market. Each visit feels like a journey to another world, fueling my creativity for crafting unique drinks.
The genesis of this concoction? A recent immersion in the captivating world of the television series “Shogun.” Transporting myself into the delicate persona of a Geisha, I envisioned a beverage that embodies elegance and sophistication.
In this ethereal libation, almond jelly lends a velvety touch, tantalizing the palate with its subtle texture. The addition of lotus root and orange bitters imparts an exquisite herbal essence, while the infusion of Pandan and jasmine cordial adds a burst of citrusy brightness.
My goal was to craft a cocktail that transcends the ordinary—a symphony of flavors that intrigues and captivates with its complexity. Join me on this sensory adventure as we explore new dimensions in mixology.
