This cocktail has a unique history about when and where it was originated. To keep it simple, this was created in 1894 by the inventor of the Bamboo Cocktail (Louis Eppinger) at The Grand Hotel in Yokohama, Japan. This classic gin drink is frothy and smooth with subtle notes of pomegranate. Cheers y’all!
