Japengo at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa in Kaanapali is kicking it up with the Yuzu Mule as the restaurant’s new signature cocktail.

The Yuzu Mule is a blend of Absolut Hibiscus Vodka, yuzu, St. Germain Elder and ginger beer. Yuzu is a rare citrus fruit that originated in East Asia and is considered a “superfood,” with powerful antioxidant abilities.

Japengo’s Yuzu Mule is a twist on the classic 1940s Moscow Mule, marrying traditional ingredients with an Asian flair to create an aromatic, refreshing cocktail perfect for sipping.

The Yuzu Mule joins Japengo’s popular cocktail menu of specialty drinks, classic and modern tiki cocktails, beer, wine, sake and sake flights.

“The new Yuzu Mule was born out of a desire to introduce our guests to new and exciting Asian flavors while giving a nod to classics,” says Cory Bartoli, general manager of Japengo. “With the use of all of the ingredients, we have created a refreshing and floral cocktail that perfectly represents Japengo and Maui.”

Japengo has been honored with 21 local awards since its opening and recently celebrated its five-year anniversary. Most recently, Japengo was honored as Best Resort Restaurant by The Maui News for the second year in a row and received three ‘Aipono Awards at the 2016 ‘Aipono Maui Restaurant Awards earlier this year.

Japengo is an award-winning restaurant serving world-class seafood, sushi and steaks with modern Asian-inspired flavors by highly acclaimed Chef Gevin Utrillo and Sushi Chef Jin Hosono.

It’s open daily for happy hour and lounge service starting at 5 p.m., and dinner from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. For more details on nightly specials and Maui Tastemakers pairing menus, call 661-1234.
