MISO BOULEVARDIER

The rice-based Shiro (white) miso lends salinity to this cocktail which enhances the zest, spice, and smoke in Johnnie Walker Red Label. Infused in a red bitter Italian liqueur, and paired with a dried mango infused sweet vermouth and Johnnie Walker, this cocktail offers a balanced, sweet and salty experience.

A red cocktail in a coupe glass with a small side dish of seaweed on a round, grey marble table with a plant in the background.
