Cocktail of the Week from Nikkita!

Next time you drop by, Mixologist Lea Valle-Rodriguez recommends ordering the Nikkei Pikoro Verde cocktail:

"It’s bold, refreshing and completely unexpected - just like Nikkita. The Nikkei Pikoro Verde balances earthy matcha, the zing of citrus and a gentle wasabi kick. It’s perfect for adventurous drinkers and a vibrant start to any evening,” she explains.

The wasabi gin is infused in-house and though it sounds intense, it’s surprisingly smooth. The layers of flavour are designed to take you on a journey, sip by sip.

Lea says ‘Nikkei’ reflects venue’s Latin-Japanese fusion concept, while ‘Pikoro Verde’ loosely translates to ‘Little Green’ - a playful nod to the matcha colour and the bold character packed into a small glass.

Try this cocktail on a Friday afternoon to relax after a long and stressful work week. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
