Maru is the name of the adorable Japanese cat whose love of jumping into and out of boxes has inspired us to waste many happy hours drinking beer in front of our computer when we should have been working instead. This cocktail has the popular Japanese lager Sapporo as its base, a crisp and well-carbonated brew that is typically paired with sushi. Here, the slight bitterness of the beer is tempered by tart berries and mandarin oranges.

Back to TopI made this for a family cocktail competition, and even my grandfather, who hates beer, loved it! It’s beautifully light and crisp, and the St. Germain (which can totally be substituted for the cheaper St. Elder, FYI) is a lovely note with the delicate mandarin orange juice and the tang of the blackberries. I was asked to make seconds, and that doesn’t happen in our family!
