Although gin is mostly often called a spring and summer-forward liquor, when paired proper, its versatility and depth make it a spirit that may be loved year-round.
Present Charcoal Grill in Birmingham, Alabama honors the wealthy variety of Asian delicacies by highlighting its flavors, components, and methods. Staying true to this theme, the Pandan Not Panda cocktail created by Jose Medina Camacho options Roku Japanese Gin as the bottom, complemented by conventional Japanese botanicals — vivid notes of yuzu, the floral sweetness of sakura, the earthy depth of sencha, and the nice and cozy spice of sansho pepper come collectively to create a uniquely balanced and flavorful expertise.
