Instructions

Description: Embrace the refreshing essence of Japan with the Yuzu Cucumber Zen, a harmonious blend of crisp cucumber, tangy yuzu, and smooth sake. This cocktail captures the elegance and serenity of a Japanese garden in spring, offering a zen-like experience with every sip. Perfect for a tranquil evening or a sophisticated gathering, it's a drink that soothes as much as it delights. Ingredients: - 2 oz Sake (choose a Junmai for its pure rice flavor) - 1 oz Yuzu juice (freshly squeezed if possible) - 0.5 oz Simple syrup (adjust based on the sweetness of the yuzu and your preference) - 3-4 slices of fresh cucumber, plus a thin slice for garnish - A pinch of sea salt to enhance flavors - Ice Glass: Serve in a chilled coupe glass. Instructions: 1. In a shaker, muddle the cucumber slices with the simple syrup to extract their crisp essence. 2. Add the sake, yuzu juice, and a pinch of sea salt to the shaker. 3. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously until well-chilled. 4. Double strain the mixture into the chilled coupe glass to remove the cucumber pulp and ensure a smooth texture. 5. Garnish with a thin slice of cucumber floating on top or perched on the rim of the glass. 6. Serve immediately and enjoy the serene journey of flavors. The Yuzu Cucumber Zen cocktail is a celebration of simplicity and purity, embodying the elegance of its ingredients without the need for added fizz. Enjoy this tranquil sipper as a pre-dinner aperitif or a refreshing interlude on a warm evening.
