Hatozaki Whisky is a great Japanese whisky made at Kaikyo Distillery, and owned by Akashi-Tai Sake brewery. It was a perfect whisky base in this tropical cocktail. A refreshing sip.

We love tropical drinks like Pineapple Express Punch and Rum Mint Julep. Aside from the fact that they taste amazing, they can transport us to a tropical island, even if it’s just for the few minutes it takes for me to drink it. Instead of in landlocked Nebraska.

So we had the idea to use Hatozaki Finest whisky in a tropical cocktail. We talk about Hatozaki Small Batch in this Strawberry Cocktail, but this Hatozaki Whisky is so full of flavor.

Tropical Cocktails

You know that tropical cocktails need not only be rum. They can be mezcal (Cargo Cult), they can be gin & mezcal (hi there Rambler’s Ruby) or Scotch (Funny Bunnies), but can you make them extra fancy with Japanese Whisky? Yes you can. Or, try our Tropical Vodka Spritz!

Refreshing, easy, and a great way to enjoy whisky on warm days, the Tropical Delight has it all. This recipe highlights the Hatozaki whisky, but it’s also a great background for the citrus and pineapple cocktail.

It all begins by combining Hatozaki whisky, pineapple juice, ginger simple syrup and lemon juice. Then you shake with 4 mint leaves, and top with club soda or tonic water. Super simple to make, and super refreshing on these late summer evenings.

The drink is light, not overly sweet, and transports you to a luxurious beach day, thanks to the addition of pineapple. Plus, it has a great bite from the ginger. We hope you will try this one out!

Cheers!
