The limited-edition On The Rocks x House of Suntory collaboration shares two exceptional, ready-to-serve Japanese-style cocktails crafted by world-renowned bartender Hidetsugu Ueno, proprietor of Tokyo's iconic Bar High Five Hidetsugu Ueno.
The Harmony Collection from On The Rocks Premium Cocktails and The House of Suntory offers a taste of Tokyo to consumers in the United States with the Yuzu Matcha Martini made with Haku Vodka. This twist on the martini puts bright, citrusy yuzu front and center, and it's grounded with the earthiness of green tea.
As part of the On The Rocks x House of Suntory Collaboration, the Yuzu Matcha Martini launched alongside Japanese Boulevardier, blended with Toki Whisky. Infused with port wine and bitters, this RTD cocktail is bold and bittersweet.
