Keichō Embassy is from one of our Patrons Jordan Field. Created for the /r/cocktails monthly competition for October where the required ingredients were Elderflower and Apple. So Jordan started with ingredients as his inspiration. He realized quickly that He had a France/Japan theme going on so he looked for history between the two countries and named the drink after a diplomatic mission between 1613 to 1620 where a samurai by the name of Hasekura Tsunenaga was traveling throughout Europe and America. He stopped briefly in Saint-Tropez which was one of the very first contacts between France and Japan. Love a well-thought-out cocktail name.
