Daruma retro is a very clear liqueur so you wouldn’t want to add too many things with it as it may take away the delicious flavour of the liqueur.

So, my challenge was to compliment the essence of the liqueur by adding a little bit of sweetness with aroma and bitterness.

There’s a green cocktail called Shamrock, this cocktail’s colour is light green and similar to a shamrock.

It’s not flashy, but it has an aroma like grass that gives you a feeling of new life and the season changing from the winter to spring, it’s a cocktail for adults.

Please give it a try.
