With spring in full swing and summer around the corner there’s nothing better than enjoying the sunshine with a refreshing drink.<\/p>\n

And being rather big fans of Roku Gin (that\u2019s meticulously crafted by Japanese artisans based on centuries-old traditions), we think it\u2019s the perfect ingredient to add to our summer cocktails.<\/p>\n

Adding to the allure of\u00a0this six-botanical gin\u00a0is the\u00a0actual\u00a0bottle\u2026 hexagonal\u00a0in shape, embossed in a style that resembles Japanese paintings and gives the bottle a refined, elegant look from every angle, all of which comes together on traditional washi paper,\u00a0making it\u00a0a head-turning bottle that deserves to be displayed on the cocktail counter alongside your newly created summer cocktail boasting notes of cherry blossom and green tea, paired juniper, orange peel, lemon peel,\u00a0coriander, cinnamon and finished off with hints of\u00a0spice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Made using 50ml Roku Gin, 25ml Cranberry juice, 70ml Hibiscus tonic and lemon peel as\u00a0a\u00a0garnish, Roku\u2019s Highball Cocktail is\u00a0the perfect serve\u00a0to awaken the senses\u00a0and help you appreciate the beauty and heat of the new season.<\/p>\n
