Notes
Balance the citrus carefully
Yuzu juice can be more aromatic and slightly less sharp than lime. Adjust the ratio of yuzu and lime to suit your taste. Use fresh juice where possible
Fresh yuzu or high-quality bottled yuzu juice makes a big difference to the final flavour. Chill your glass
A chilled glass keeps the cocktail crisp and refreshing for longer. Shake well with ice
Shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold. This ensures proper dilution and a smooth texture. Strain for a clean finish
Fine strain if you want a smoother, more refined cocktail without ice shards. Adjust sweetness to taste
Depending on your yuzu, you may want slightly more or less sugar syrup to balance the acidity. Serve immediately
Best enjoyed fresh while cold and vibrant.
