The Grand King

character:

Oikawa Tōru

liquor:

shochu

source:

Haikyū!!

Unwind with The Grand King, a refreshing cocktail inspired by Oikawa Tōru. Classic Japanese flavors like yuzu soda and shōchū are combined with Fernet Branca, an amaro that is extremely popular in Argentina. This misleading mix may seem off-putting at first, but much like The Great King brings out the best in his teammates, this drink showcases each ingredient without one being too overpowering. It’s easily drinkable, like a tart and sweet iced tea—perfect for cooling off after a long day on the volleyball court.
