Hinokami

character:

Kamado Tanjirō

liquor:

vodka

source:

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

This comforting cocktail is named after the Hinokami Kagura, a breathing style and ceremonial dance that has been passed down through the Kamado family for generations. Creamy sweet RumChata, tart cherry juice, and toasty, cozy spices combine to make this drink as warming as the sun. But just like the vodka that creates the base of this drink, the sun can burn. I can picture Tanjirō making a spiced sweet cream with cherries that he thinks Nezuko would like, only for Zenitsu and Inosuke to show up with a liter of vodka and start free-pouring.
