Oh wow, this is a really great cocktail. It's slightly sweet, but mostly it's refreshing and fruity that's similar to (well it's a challenge to describe, and I might be off a bit here) a tangy passion fruit juice drink. It's so delicious, and I'll make this again. I had a really hard time finding yuzu juice (and I wasn't about to attempt a search for fresh yuzu fruit). So I tried a substitute suggested by an online site (using 3 tbsp fresh lime juice and 1/2 tbsp orange juice), and it was OK. But I finally found some yuzu juice after searching online for shops in my area, and it's great both ways but I definitely like the one with yuzu juice. It's has a pleasant citrus tone. I think I'll be sipping on these all summer long. Made for Culinary Quest 2016 (Japan). Thanks for sharing your recipe, momaphet.
