Nagasaki Highball

Nagasaki Highball

The NAGASAKI HIGHBALL is a modern take on tradition, inspired by the historic port city of Nagasaki, where Japan first opened its doors to global trade.

This cocktail blends the coastal botanicals of Gin Whaler with the nutty warmth of hazelnut liqueur, the deep umami of seaweed cordial, and the crisp citrus burst of yuzu tonic water. It’s a drink that brings the ocean and the orchard together in a perfectly balanced, refreshing highball.
