A ROKU Gin Japanese Garden launches at Tigerlily, George Street, Edinburgh this weekend.

Running until mid June, guests can enjoy the stunning Japanese Garden complete with cherry blossom decor and an Instagram-worthy entrance. A limited edition cocktail menu created by Joey Medrington, Bar Development Manager, boasts delicious serves such as the ’Sakura Blossom Spritz’ - Roku Gin with Cherry Blossom, Ume Plum, Yuzu & White Tea Soda topped with pink candy floss and the ‘Fuji Mountain Swizzle’ - Roku Gin with Asian Pear, Yuzu Sake and Wild Mint.
