What is Yuzushu?
Yuzushu (also known as yuzu sake or yuzu liqueur) is a Japanese fruit liqueur made by steeping yuzu — a fragrant, tart Japanese citrus — in sake or shochu with sugar. It has a bright, refreshing citrus flavour that's sweeter and less sharp than yuzu on its own, making it an easy introduction to Japanese liqueurs. Yuzushu is best enjoyed chilled or on the rocks, though it's also delicious mixed with soda water, tonic, or sparkling wine for a light cocktail. It pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled dishes, and desserts, and its striking golden colour and elegant bottle make it a popular gift.
