Thin Slice of Fresh CucumberInstructions
In a chilled highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the integrity of the drink without excessive dilution.
Pour 5 cl of KI NO TEA gin over the ice, allowing its delicate green tea and yuzu notes to emerge.
Gently add 15 cl of Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic Water, chosen for its subtle floral sweetness that complements the gin's herbal and citrus profile.
Stir softly to integrate the flavors.
Garnish with a thin slice of fresh cucumber, adding a crisp, refreshing aroma that enhances the gin's botanical complexity.
For alternative pairings, consider East Imperial Yuzu Tonic or Fentimans Oriental Yuzu Tonic Water.
