I Added THIS To 6 Classic Cocktails (And It Changed Everything)

The live cocktail development session that I did a couple of weeks ago was focused on Rial's Yuzu syrup. If you haven't tried Yuzu yet, you're in for a treat! This Japanese citrus fruit is like a zesty love child of lemon and mandarin, bursting with fresh, aromatic flavours. In that live stream, I asked for your feedback and together we crafted six incredible cocktail recipes that highlight this unique syrup. Over the past week, I've been tweaking these recipes to perfection, and I can't wait to share them with you!


First up, we have a Yuzu, ginger, and pineapple mojito without rum. Trust me, this drink is absolutely incredible! The combination of lime juice, mint, ginger vodka, and Yuzu syrup creates a refreshing and vibrant cocktail that will leave you wanting more. Next, we dive into a Yuzu and lychee Collins, a gin-based delight that perfectly balances the flavours of lychee and Yuzu. It's a simple yet elegant drink that’s perfect for any occasion.


Then there's the Donkey Gong, a cocktail that combines ginger vodka, passion fruit, and Yuzu for a tropical twist. I also created a Yuzu Bakewell Sour, which is a cherry and brandy concoction that’s simply exquisite. And if you’re looking for something unique, try my Kuiper English, a vanilla and blueberry Yuzu riff that’s light and refreshing.


Finally, we wrap up with a spicy Yuzu grapefruit margarita that’s sure to tantalise your taste buds. Each of these cocktails showcases the versatility of Yuzu syrup and proves that you can create stunning drinks with just a few ingredients. So, grab your shaker and let’s get mixing!
