Liquid Kitchen #TokiCapri Cocktail

  Let us toast National Happy Hour Day this November 12th with a #TokiCapri #Cocktail! The #TokiCapri combines the old school fun of a “capri sun” style drink with adult flavors. I love the balance; Toki lends a light touch of smoke, Aperol with a whisper of bitter, Yuzu and lemon adds an exotic citrus pop and spiced syrup adds a touch of sweet – resulting in a well-balanced cocktail with many delicious layers of flavor. Served in a bag – it’s fun for single service, or large functions….think wedding or parties. The band around the bag is also perfect to customize with a hashtag or special branded message. Enjoy! – Kathy Casey   #TokiCapri Makes 1 Drink 1 1/2 oz Suntory Toki Whisky 1/4 oz Aperol 1/4 oz Spiced Ginger Syrup (recipe follows) 1/4 oz Monin Yuzu Puree 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice Garnish: mint sprig, orange & lemon 1/2 wheels, edible flowers Measure the Toki, Spiced Ginger Syrup, Aperol, yuzu puree and lemon juice into a pint glass.
