Daruma caipirinha with Hassaku oranges from Hiroshima (Daruma retro recipe)
What we are going to introduce this time is a cocktail called ‘Daruma caipirinha with Hassaku orange from Hiroshima’ using Daruma retro as the base.
It was invented by Seitaro Fukuoka, the head bartender of BAR enishi.
[Ingredients]
What you need is Daruma retro and Hassaku oranges from Hiroshima, and some syrup (if you like).
[Recipe]
Chop up a Hiroshima hassaku orange into chunks, take a quarter of them and mash them up with a pestle.
Add some syrup to taste and crush some ice in.
Pour some Daruma retro in and mix it around to complete it.
[Message from the bartender, Fukuoka]
I heard that SAKURAO Brewery and Distillery focuses on ingredients that are from Hiroshima when I was inventing this cocktail, so I thought about using ingredients from Hiroshima for cocktails as well.
Also, a Brazilian cocktail called caipirinha has been popular recently, well, now the summer season is just around the corner and it’s perfectly refreshing, so I decided to make the cocktail.
I’ve tried a variety of ingredients when selecting what to put into cocktails, and if you add oranges then it often becomes too sweet, so a slightly bitter Hassaku orange was just perfect for the image I came up with.
It will look perfect in a rock glass, please have a try.
