If the name didn't give it away, this cocktail is not to be trifled with. One of the signature cocktails of Marble Arch Japanese lounge Kurobuta, it contains medori (a Japanese melon liqueur) and bitter lime with hints of cooling cucumber – the perfect sweet and sour cooler for a summer's day. Oh, and we should mention, it's from Kurobuta's 'Hobo' range, meaning it's served authentically in a brown paper bag.
