Returner (liqueur) with fruit juices, champagne, whiskey, and other liqueurs. Returner was invented by Toshiaki Aizu who is the CEO and bartender of BAR GRANDMASTER Nihombashi (Returner Japan Corporation). First, Aizu invented his original cocktail composed of Earl Grey tea, Grapefruit juice, and vodka inspired from the grapefruit tea of the famous tea house at Yokohama. After that, he developed “Lucie”, which reproduced the taste of his Earl Grey original cocktail, as his first liqueur product. This new liqueur had a fairly good reputation among bartenders and drinkers, but he was still busy improving the taste of his Earl Grey tea liqueur.
