Themed

In the film My Neighbor Totoro, Satsuki and Mei take the Catbus to the hospital to leave an ear of sweet corn for their mother. For the anniversary of the film, and because I love sweet corn and have never had a cocktail made with it, I decided to create a Sweet Corn Cocktail. With the Japanese botanicals in Roku Gin and the vaguely Catbus-esque look of the garnish, I felt like this one was a success. Try it yourself and let me know what you think!

Editor's Note

Sweet corn meets Japanese botanicals in this inventive sour. Yellow Chartreuse provides a honeyed, herbal backbone that elevates the vegetal sweetness of the corn.
