Thin Yuzu Peel TwistInstructions
In a chilled highball glass, place a large ice sphere to maintain a slow dilution, preserving the delicate balance of Sakurao Classic's citrus and floral notes.
Pour 5 cl of Sakurao Classic Gin over the ice, allowing its Japanese botanicals to gently chill.
Top with 15 cl of East Imperial Yuzu Tonic, whose subtle yuzu infusion complements the gin's citrus profile without overpowering its herbal nuances.
Gently stir to integrate.
Garnish with a thin twist of yuzu peel, expressing its oils over the drink to enhance the citrus aroma.
For alternative pairings, consider Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water or Fentimans Oriental Yuzu Tonic.
