Zega Unveils Japanese-Inspired Mizuwari Cocktail Series In Hyderabad

Sheraton Hyderabad’s Zega has launched the “Mizuwari Series,” a Japanese-inspired cocktail menu featuring seven drinks, each linked to Samurai virtues and crafted with layered ingredients for gradual flavour development.

Japanese cocktail menu Hyderabad: Zega at Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel has introduced a new cocktail menu inspired by Mizuwari, a Japanese style of preparing drinks by mixing spirits with water. The new series features seven cocktails, each built around one of the traditional virtues associated with the Samurai.

The menu includes Makoto, inspired by honesty and sincerity, combining vodka, Aperol, yuzu lime and fizz. Chu, representing duty and loyalty, brings together bourbon whisky, lime, sesame and Angostura bitters.

Other cocktails in the collection include Ikigai, which draws on the idea of purpose and a long, happy life through gin, cherry cordial, hibiscus and sparkling elements. Rei takes inspiration from beauty in imperfection, pairing vodka with pickled ginger, kaffir lime, cucumber and watermelon.

The remaining drinks include Jin, a gin-based combination featuring passion, strawberry sweet vermouth, citrus and fizz. Yu, which blends gin, cherry wine, Campari and lime, and Meiyo, made with white rum, pineapple, Campari and lime.

Rather than simply focusing on flavours, the series connects each drink to a different idea from Japanese philosophy. The use of dilution and layered ingredients also reflects the Mizuwari approach, allowing the cocktails to develop gradually as they are enjoyed.

The Mizuwari Series is now available at Zega, Sheraton Hyderabad Hotel.
