Oolong Black Tea Whiskey Sour

Rich, velvety, and packed with depth, this take on a classic whiskey sour highlights the bold, roasted notes of black oolong tea. Infused into whiskey, the tea adds layers of smokiness and earthiness, balanced by the bright acidity of lemon and the smooth sweetness of maple syrup. The egg white brings a luscious foam, making each sip as silky as it is complex. And with oolong tea bringing its natural antioxidants into the mix, this cocktail offers depth of flavor with an extra little boost. Deep, smoky, and smooth—perfect for crisp autumn nights but just as enjoyable year-round. A whiskey sour with bold flavor, velvety texture, and a hint of oolong’s natural benefits. Would you try this twist?

Japanese Bermutto Dirty Martini

This cocktail is my Japanese twist on a classic Dirty Martini, made with Japanese gin, Oka Kura Bermutto, and a splash of Mezzetta olive brine. Oka Kura Bermutto isn’t a traditional vermouth—it’s crafted from aromatized, shochu-fortified sake instead of wine. That base gives it a softer, rounder profile with gentle umami and floral notes, compared to the sharper wine-driven vermouths typically used in American olive martinis. Even with those delicate nuances, the drink stays unmistakably spirit-forward. The result is a Dirty Martini that’s savory but beautifully balanced - smooth, delicate, and surprisingly easy to love, even for someone who doesn’t usually reach for an olive martini.
