It’s Samurai Tini time at St James’s Hotel and Club

London November 2011: Guests visiting London’s St James’s Hotel and Club in November can avail themselves of four delightful Japanese whisky based cocktails, including the stunning “Samurai Tini”. Created by bar manager Zdenek Zemen and based on Suntory’s renowned Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky he has christened them – “Lost in Translation”, “Lychee Martini”, “Suntory Time” and “Samurai Tini”.

Zdenek wanted to sample the outstanding Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky for his customers and so is focusing on these four cocktails during November.

Ingredients used by Zdenek will cater for tastes ranging from the aromatic to the slightly bitter to the rich flavours of prunes, cherries and lychees.

“Lost in Translation” is a unique combination of Yamazaki with St Germain and lemon juice.

“Lychee Martini” brings together Yamazaki, lichee liqueur and fresh lychee juice and a dash of Peychad’s.

“Samurai Tini” is a combination of Yamazaki, cherry heering, crème de Figue and a dash of Angostura.

“Suntory Time”mixes Yamazaki with crème de prune and a dash of Angostura and orange bitters over ice.

Cocktail lovers will need to hurry because they are only available at the St James’s during the month of November.

Suntory Japanese whiskies are world beaters having won more than 60 international awards since 2003 and whisky lovers have taken to them. There is something about their subtle aromas and delicate flavours which appeals to the palate whether taken neat, over ice or in cocktails.

Yamazaki 12 year old is Japan’s leading single malt whisky and has become a firm favourite here in the UK where it is served in top bars and hotels. It won a Gold Medal award at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in March 2011.
