Yuzu Margarita
Makes 1 Drink
Here’s a Japan-inspired take on a classic margarita that’s very elegant. Yuzu juice adds complex depth far beyond lemon’s, replacing its tartness with a blend of tart, honeyed and floral flavors.
Serving this cocktail straight up (without ice) lets the beautiful glow of the citrus juices shine through the glass unencumbered and keeps their flavor from being watered down.
