Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Yuzu juice: 2 oz 60 ml
  • Cane sugar or sweetener of your choice: 2-3 tbsp
  • Fresh mint leaves: 1/2 cup about 0.4 oz / 12 g
  • Crushed ice: about 1 1/2 cups about 6 oz / 170 g
  • Soda water: 4 oz 120 ml

Method
 

  1. Add the yuzu juice and cane sugar to a serving glass. Stir well until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  2. Tear the mint leaves into the glass. Using a muddler or pestle, gently press the mint several times to release its natural oils without shredding the leaves.
  3. Fill the glass with crushed ice and slowly pour in the soda water.
  4. Using a bar spoon or a long spoon, gently stir from the bottom to the top so the flavors are evenly combined.
  5. Garnish with a few extra mint leaves and serve immediately.
