Suntory has joined forces with renowned fruit shop Ginza Sembikiya to create 2 premium ready to drink cocktails -Mango and Melon.

I had the Mango ("with pureed Indian grown Alphonso mangoes imparting a sweet aroma and rich texture") while my better half tried Melon (using "Japanese grown muskmelons for a refined aroma and taste")

With 6% alcohol content, I don't think I'll be buying these on the way to work!

Velvety smooth bliss...

"It was not as good as what he had taken with Geertruid, or even what he'd tasted at the Turkish tavern, but he nevertheless liked the way the bitterness and the sweetness played off each other. He took a sip and savoured how the coffee washed into his mouth like a kiss. He sniffed at the bowl and looked at in the light of the oil lamp. And before he finished, he knew he would make another helping." (Liss 2004:104)
