Instructions

Description: Imagine the traditional Italian Limoncello taking a serene journey through the Land of the Rising Sun. Zen Yuzu Sakecello is a delicate blend of the bright, citrusy flavors of yuzu with the smooth, rice-based sake—reminiscent of the classic Limoncello but with a distinctive Japanese twist. This innovative infusion is perfect as a crisp, refreshing digestif or as a base for sophisticated cocktails. Ingredients: - 500ml Sake (choose a junmai grade for a full-bodied flavor) - Peel of 3 large yuzu (ensure white pith is removed, as it's bitter) - 150g Caster sugar - 250ml Water - A small piece of ginger, thinly sliced (optional for a spicy kick) Instructions: 1. In a clean glass jar, combine the yuzu peels and sake. If you're adding ginger for a spicy note, include it in this step. 2. Seal the jar and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for at least one week to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it infuses, the stronger the yuzu flavor will be. 3. After the infusion period, strain the sake through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the yuzu peels (and ginger, if used). 4. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves to create a simple syrup. 5. Allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature before mixing it with the infused sake. 6. Once combined, pour the mixture into a clean bottle and refrigerate until cold. 7. Serve chilled, either neat or over a single large ice cube. Glass: Serve in a small, chilled glass typically reserved for premium sake (ochoko or masu box) to highlight its cultural inspiration. Enjoy your Zen Yuzu Sakecello as a unique twist on the classic Italian favorite, embracing the tranquil yet vibrant essence of Japan.
