Just beneath Sosharu restaurant in Clerkenwell, 7 Tales bar is part of Jason Atherton’s Social Company, which offers a constantly changing cocktail menu of drinks created by bartender Robyn Wilkie.
Typically simplistic and influenced by Japanese culture, using Japanese ingredients, the bar’s drinks list generally features a selection of 10-12 cocktails. 7 Tales’ homage to St Patrick’s Day, for instance, combines Irish Jameson whiskey with Japanese Midori liqueur, Asahi lager, yuzu juice and coconut water.
The drink is available at 7 Tales this weekend (priced at £10) or can be made at home by following this simple recipe.
30ml Midori
25ml Jameson whiskey
30ml coconut water
15ml yuzu juice

Asahi lager
Edible flowers
