The Bamboo’s blend of dry sherry, French vermouth and orange bitters evokes balmy continental evenings and southern Europeans enjoying their six-month summer vacations. Created in the 1890's by German bartender Louis Eppinger of the Grand Hotel in Yokohama Japan, the Bamboo has become a world renown classic cocktail.
