Suwabe Variations
character:
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez; Ryomen Sukuna; Aizawa Shōta | Eraserhead; Yami Sukehiro
liquor:
whiskey
source:
Bleach; Jujutsu Kaisen; My Hero Academia; Black Clover
This sweet and savory cocktail is inspired by Junichi Suwabe, the voice behind characters like Grimmjow, Sukuna, Aizawa, and Yami (aka my husbandos). Different types of whiskey and unique garnishes give each Suwabe Variation individual flavors and characteristics to represent each character, while still being the same drink at its core. Bitter coffee, smooth amaretto, and complex chocolate bitters represent these characters as being both sophisticated and unhinged. Treat yourself with this boss-level drink… after taking these fine men home for a nightcap 😉
