Sapporo

Legendary Japanese mixologist Tatsuro Yamazaki named this cocktail after his hometown in anticipation of Sapporo hosting the 1972 Winter Olympics. Its timeless taste makes it a standout from that era.

Ingredients

• 1 oz Shine Vodka

• 2 bar spoons amaretto

• 2 bar spoons Green Chartreuse or similar herbal liqueur *

• 2 bar spoons dry vermouth

• Cocktail cherry, for garnish

Steps

1. Pour Shine Vodka, amaretto, Green Chartreuse, and dry vermouth into a mixing glass with ice.

2. Using a bar spoon, stir slowly but thoroughly to preserve the liquor’s clarity.

3. Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass, then garnish with a cocktail cherry (or two).

* Given the limited availability of Green Chartreuse, you can substitute with either Faccia Brutto Centerbe or Dolín Génépy des Alpes.
