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.
