Suzuka Sunset

Description

Sake gives the drink a soft, subtly savoury base, letting yuzu’s fragrant citrus and the peach accent sit out front. The peach rounds the middle while the yuzu leaves a brighter peel-like finish. Try it when you want an aromatic short drink with a gentler spirit character.

  • 50 ml Sake
  • 20 ml yuzu liqueur
  • 10 ml Peach modifier
  • Ice
  • Twist, fruit

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink.

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
  3. Fine strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or served straight up.
  4. Garnish to echo the main flavour and serve immediately.
