Japan has more than 70 words for cherry blossoms and "In Bloom" celebrates this national cherry blossom fervour with ROKU Sakura Bloom. Fresh sage adds herbal depth, while jasmine flowers brewed in coconut water infuse floral sweetness.

A touch of acidity and juicy peach enhance the flavour, crafting a layered cocktail experience reminiscent of springtime in Japan.

In Bloom

Japan has more than 70 words for cherry blossoms and this blossom obsession is reflected in the seasonal cocktail, "In Bloom" with ROKU Sakura Bloom as its base. Fresh sage leaves infuse a herbal complexity, while jasmine flowers, brewed in coconut water, impart a floral sweetness. A subtle acidifier and the juicy sweetness of peach adds a touch of brightness to elevate the flavour profile.

Sakura Martini

This is a lighter, contemporary martini owing to its base of sake and gin. Yuzu sake infuses the elegant ROKU Sakura Bloom botanical profile with a citrusy brightness, while Citrius adds added tangy complexity. Enhanced with fresh tarragon and a green cardamom percolation, subtle warmth and spice round out this cocktail with depth and character.

Royal Aviation

The Aviation cocktail originated during the early days of aeronautics, a time when flying was considered a privilege accessible only to the wealthy. Named due to the cocktail's sky-blue colour, The Backdrop has swapped the usual crème de violette with cassis instead, adding depth and dimension to this drink's profile. Kidney bean water, an unexpected ingredient, provides a silky texture and subtle nuttiness.
