Shochu that goes with quinquina aperitif (cocchi americano-style)

Bitter and aperitivo

These are bottles to mix quinquina aperitif (cocchi americano-style) into. Some of them taste of it too, and where that is the reason a bottle is here, its line says so.

Cocchi Americano: moscato steeped with cinchona bark, gentian and bitter orange. The bark is the point of it, and it carries a quinine bitterness no citrus will give you.

Best bottles for quinquina aperitif (cocchi americano-style)

The strongest matches in the catalogue, across every style. Everything below is the same ranking opened out by what the shochu is made from.

Kirishima No.8 ShochuTasted at JurakuImo (sweet potato) · Miyazaki

A moscato base, so the grape in the bottle and the grape in the glass say the same thing

Chiran BukeyashikiImo (sweet potato) · Kagoshima

Quinine and gentian give a measured bitterness where an amaro would take the glass over

Grouped by what the shochu is made from, because that is the level the reasoning works at: what this does to an imo shochu is a fact about imo shochu rather than about one bottle. Within each style the strongest matches come first, and bottles we pour are marked rather than promoted. The scores are the same engine that recommends a mixer from a bottle, run the other way round, but the labels are not: a bottle page badges at most twelve strong matches and at most three per family, so that the twelve describe that bottle rather than the same citrus and soda every time. Here there is no cap, so a pairing badged strong on this page can read as a good match on the bottle's own.

Imo shochu

A bitter answers the earth with more earth, amaro and gentian most of all. A split-base imo drink then reads as intentional rather than odd.
