It's an overtly Japanese-inspired Gimlet. Bright, spicy, funky, a little floral, and very refreshing.

I originally made it with an acid-adjusted yuzu super juice and yuzo kosho syrup but had to swap those for this yuzu sake cordial due to cost and supply issues. If you have access to fresh yuzu and wanna try it with that just leave a comment and I'll share those recipes too (it's marginally better the original way).
