💡 Chef's Tips

  • ·

    Chill your Sachi wine and sparkling water for at least 2 hours before preparation to keep the drink crisp.

  • ·

    If you cannot find fresh yuzu, a mixture of 3 parts lemon juice and 1 part mandarin orange juice provides a similar flavor profile.

  • ·

    Rub the mint sprig against the rim of the glass before serving to enhance the aromatic experience with every sip.

  • ·

    For a drier version, reduce the honey to 2 tablespoons.
