Aperitivo Andante
A cocktail for enjoying music during aperitivo time. A fruity and refreshing drink perfect for the evening.

Anna and Maria
This gorgeous drink is inspired by the two wives who supported Bach throughout his life. It is a twist on the cocktail "Paper Plane" that pays homage to Bach, who spread his wings and became the "father of music." Maria is imagined as "Campari" and Anna as "Aperol."

Great Fantasia
This drink was created with the image of Bach's "Fantasia and Fugue." The complex interlocking melodies create a dynamic and fantastical flavor.

◇ Cocktails supervised by Takahashi Tsukasa, head bartender at Hotel GrandBach Tokyo Ginza
B to C is a Bach Celebrate cocktail to celebrate Bach Day. It is also inspired by the Campari Beermoni cocktail, which is an abbreviation of Beer Campari, and is a simple, light-tasting cocktail that is easy to drink.
