Lightly sweetened and diluted cognac flavored with almond and a hint of spice. The Japanese Cocktail is accompanied with no explanation of its namesake, nor do its ingredients lead one to believe it is of any Asian persuasion.&nbsp;This vanguard cocktail perhaps had something to do with a visit (or four) paid to Thomas’s New York City bar on Broadway by a member of Japan’s first diplomatic mission to America, Tateishi Onojirou Noriyuki, or “Tommy,” as he was known among the ladies.&nbsp;Bartender Tip:The grape distillate adds more fruit aromas and flavors. And in place of simple syrup, there is the all-too-tasty orgeat, an almond-based sweetener. These changes make the drink taste rich with hints of fruit along with a nutty sweetness and thicker mouthfeel.
