Nitobe Cocktail

MIXOLOGY RECIPE

Nitobe

As the beautiful cherry blossoms sprout from every corner of the city, it marks the time for yet another collaboration with the talented mixologist, Justin Taylor, of Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar! Last year’s collaboration resulted in a delicious cocktail with Cassis Black, Organic Tangerine Rooibos and Absolut Cherry Noir.

Notes from Justin Taylor, Director of Beverage at Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar:

“Named after the famous Japanese gardens located at UBC. This cocktail combines some very Japanese inspired flavors and perfect for Cherry Blossom season.”
