Instructions

Inspired by the vibrant yet harmonious contrast of modern and traditional Japan, Tokyo Twilight is a visually stunning cocktail that captures the essence of Japanese elegance and innovation. This drink is a delightful blend of traditional sake or soju, embodying the spirit of Japan, with a modern twist of colorful ingredients and flavors. Serve in a traditional ceramic sake cup or a small, clear highball glass to honor the Japanese aesthetic of simplicity and beauty. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Sake (for a more traditional taste) or Soju (for a slightly sweeter profile) - 0.5 oz Yuzu liqueur (for a tart and fragrant citrus note) - 0.5 oz Sakura syrup (cherry blossom syrup, adding a floral sweetness and a hint of pink color) - 2 oz Chilled Sencha tea (green tea for an earthy and refreshing base) - Splash of Butterfly Pea flower tea (for a vibrant blue hue) - Edible gold leaf (for garnish, representing the luxury of modern Japan) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. Begin by chilling a ceramic sake cup or a small highball glass. 2. In a shaker, combine the sake or soju, yuzu liqueur, and sakura syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. 3. Strain the mixture into the chilled cup or glass, filled with ice. 4. Slowly pour chilled Sencha tea over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layering effect. 5. Carefully add a splash of butterfly pea flower tea to the top of the drink, watching as it creates a beautiful gradient from blue to pink, reminiscent of a twilight sky. 6. Garnish with a delicate piece of edible gold leaf on the surface to add a luxurious finish. Tokyo Twilight is not just a cocktail; it's an expression of Japan today – vibrant, innovative, and deeply rooted in tradition. The drink's light floral and citrus notes perfectly complement the earthy undertones of green tea, making it an exquisite choice for any occasion that calls for reflection on the beauty and complexity of modern Japan.
