Yuzu Cocktail

Emily Fiffer | Los Angeles

Botanica Restaurant in Los Angeles features yuzu on the menu in several drinks, from this simple shaken rye cocktail to a spritz and a Mimosa. The Yuzu Cocktail is made with Yuzuco’s Super Juice, a shelf-stable product that’s accessible for stateside bartenders while still packing the tangy punch of fresh citrus.
