Shochu that goes with red aperitivo bitter (campari-style)

Bitter and aperitivo

Campari, Aperol, or a Japanese bitter like Kina. The aperitivo hour is where sake and shochu make the most sense as cocktails.

Ranked over every bottle in the catalogue, with the reason each one is here. The reasoning is the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, so the two never contradict each other.
