and the first two were similar to the one you got. I was wondering if it would put egg white in everything. Example:
Can you develop a cocktail that would thematically accompany a showing of the film Harakiri?

Certainly! Harakiri (1962), directed by Masaki Kobayashi, is a powerful and somber film set in the Edo period of Japan. Thematically, the film delves into themes of honor, duty, and the dark side of samurai tradition. To create a cocktail that complements these elements, we’ll draw on traditional Japanese ingredients, balancing elegance with depth and a hint of bitterness to reflect the film’s tone.
“Seppuku Sour”
Ingredients:
2 oz. Japanese whisky (such as Suntory Toki or Nikka Coffey Grain)
1 oz. yuzu juice (or fresh lemon juice if yuzu is unavailable)
0.5 oz. honey syrup (1:1 honey to water)
0.25 oz. Campari (for a touch of bitterness)
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
1 egg white (optional for a frothy texture)
Garnish: Yuzu peel or a thin slice of ginger
Instructions:
Chill a coupe glass in the freezer.
Combine the Japanese whisky, yuzu juice, honey syrup, Campari, bitters, and egg white (if using) in a cocktail shaker without ice.
Dry shake (shake without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled.
Double strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass to remove any ice shards and ensure a smooth texture.
Garnish with a yuzu peel or a thin slice of ginger for an aromatic touch.
Tasting Notes:
Flavor Profile: The Japanese whisky provides a smooth and slightly smoky base, while the yuzu adds a bright citrus note. The honey syrup balances the bitterness of the Campari, reflecting the complex emotions of the film. The Angostura bitters add depth and a hint of spice.
Aesthetic: The drink’s frothy top (if using egg white) and garnishing give it an elegant appearance, reminiscent of the film’s stoic yet visually striking scenes.
This cocktail is both respectful of Japanese culture and evocative of the film’s serious tone, making it a fitting accompaniment to Harakiri.
But then it stopped using egg whites.
Here’s the one that tried to make the most direct connections to the movie:
The Zardoz Zenith
Ingredients:
2 oz Gin (for a strong, clear base, symbolizing the Eternals’ control)
1 oz Aperol (to add a bitter, vibrant orange hue, echoing the color of the Zardoz head)
1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice (bringing in a sharp, zesty note, representing the sharp divide between the Brutals and the Eternals)
1/2 oz Honey Syrup (a mix of honey and hot water, for a touch of sweetness, symbolizing the allure of immortality)
2 dashes of Absinthe (for a touch of mystique and otherworldliness, much like the film’s strange narrative)
Splash of Soda Water (to lighten the drink, reminiscent of the film’s moments of surreal clarity)
Garnish:
An Orange Twist (for a nod to the film’s dominant color palette)
A sprig of fresh Thyme (representing the passage of time and the decay of the Eternals)
Instructions:
Fill a shaker with ice and add the gin, Aperol, lemon juice, honey syrup, and absinthe.
Shake vigorously until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Add a splash of soda water.
Garnish with the orange twist and a sprig of thyme.
This cocktail is designed to be bold and intriguing, much like “Zardoz” itself, with a mix of familiar and unexpected flavors that evoke the film’s blend of the surreal and the tangible.
