The Japanese approach to gin-makingis one of the keys to why Roku pairs so beautifully with cocktails like the Gin Negroni. By distilling each botanical separately and then blending them together, a perfect balance of flavours is achieved. This allows all the ingredients to shine alongside the gin, without either being overpowered.
The distinctly Japanese botanicals in Roku transform the Negroni into a completely new experience. Bitter orange peel and yuzu balance the sweetness of vermouth, elevate the gin’s flavors, and impart a unique and vibrant citrus profile to this gin cocktail.
If you’re looking to take it a step further, try using Roku Gin Sakura Bloom Editionin your next Japanese Negroni—its more floral flavor profile with a subtle salty touch can be surprising. And if you want to continue experimenting with our Japanese gin, explore other cocktails like the Roku Sakura Aperitif or the Roku Hanami Fizz.
