I wanted to create a Whiskey Sour using a Japanese whiskey that I actually like as I’m not fond of Japanese whiskey or a Whiskey Sour in general, I was challenging myself. The name comes from the song: ‘Turning Japanese’ by The Vapours. I chose Nikka Days as I think it’s a very good beginner whiskey for people who want to try Japanese Whiskey and it’s also good for mixing. I had to create three drinks to pass an exam for the Company I work for. It’s called Be At One (in the UK, I work at the one in Leeds) and this is the best out of three that I created. I have changed the Garnish from the one in the picture. If you haven’t heard the song, I recommend you do as it’s very catchy haha 🙂 I hope you pick my drink in one of your videos. Love the channel, keep up the good work Leandro! 🙂
