The Yuzu Drop is a simple variation on the popular Lemon Drop cocktail. It's a type of sour and has only four ingredients: yuzu, curacao (or triple sec), vodka or gin, and sugar.
Here is my preferred recipe:
1.5 oz Japanese Gin
0.75 oz yuzu juice
0.75 oz Curacao or Triple Sec
Chill a martini glass then add sugar to the rim. Then combine all of the ingredients into a shaker with ice. Hard shake and double strain into the chilled glass. Garnish with a yuzu wheel, peel swath, or twist.
But fresh yuzu can be hard to find. So if you can't find any, here are three variations.
#1: Use yuzu concentrate. This sour juice is easy to find in Japanese markets. Use the same recipe as above, but substitute the yuzu juice with half lemon juice and half yuzu concentrate.
#2: Use yuzu sake. Also known as yuzu sake, this Japanese beverage is made with infused yuzu and yuzu juice. It's low in alcohol, sweet, and sour.
1.5 oz Japanese Gin
0.5 oz Yuzu Sake
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Curacao or Triple Sec
Mix this cocktail the same as the first. It makes a slightly stronger and more intense drink. But it's delicious.
#3: Use yuzu liqueur. In this recipe, yuzu liqueur replaces Curacao. And lemon juice is used in place of yuzu juice.
1.5 oz Japanese Gin
0.75 oz Lemon Juice
0.75 oz Yuzu Liqueur
There you have it. I hope you enjoy. If you try it please let me know what you think.
