Whiskey lovers, rejoice! In honor of International Whiskey Day, Rahul Kamath, Bar Manager at Trèsind Mumbai, has unveiled a remarkable whiskey cocktail—Tomodachi. This artfully crafted drink brings together Japanese whisky, herbal infusions, and citrusy brightness, making it a perfectly balanced indulgence for the occasion.

The Inspiration Behind Tomodachi

Named after the Japanese word for "friend", Tomodachi is more than just a cocktail—it’s a celebration of companionship, fine craftsmanship, and the exquisite flavors of Japanese whisky. By pairing Yamazaki Single Malt with shiso leaf-infused Amaro and yuzu cordial, this drink delivers a unique blend of sweet, herbaceous, and citrusy notes, elevated by the subtle kick of ginger beer.
