Yuzu Breeze

This refreshing cocktail, inspired by the flavors of yuzu and aquavit, brings a unique fusion of Swedish and Japanese influences. Yuzu, a Japanese citrus fruit, infuses the aquavit with its tart and floral notes, while the crispness of tonic water adds a delightful effervescence. The Yuzu Breeze is a simple, yet fragrant concoction that captures the essence of two distant lands in a single glass.
