El Fili Daquiri made with Tandua Gold Rum, Gina Mango, Yuzo Kosho (chili), Calamansi juice (Philippine lime) and Tagarashi rim
Yuzu Gimlet with Suntory Roku Gin, Dekopon Orange Liqueur, St Germain Elderflower liqueur and yuzu juice
Wasabi Mar-Gari-Ta with Blanco Tequila, Contreau, Calamansi honey, lime, wasabi, Gari (pickled ginger), and smoked Maldon salt rim.
Gugu Midori Sour with Midori, Calamansi juice (Philippine Lime), Blanco Tequila, Nori garnish
Cheers!
