Description

Mango Sticky Rice Sour is built around japanese whisky, orange wine purée, apricot cordial, giving it a clear identity from the first sip. Its roots are more inspirational than archival, borrowing the confidence of classic bar families while giving them a contemporary flavour direction.

What makes it great is the balance: the base brings structure, the fruit or aromatic element gives personality, and the chilled serve keeps everything crisp. It has enough theatre for a cocktail menu but remains simple enough for a confident home bartender.

It works beautifully for weekends, garden drinks and pre-dinner rounds because the flavour is clear without becoming hard work.
