Yuzuri Yuzu Liqueur

Yuzuri is a Japanese yuzu liqueur from Soh Spirits, the Los Angeles company founded by Ann Soh Woods, who launched Kikori rice whiskey in 2015 and built Yuzuri with the same distillery team in Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. The yuzu comes from family orchards in Kumamoto, where the fruit is hand-harvested the old-fashioned way, then hand-picked, cut and juiced; Woods describes yuzu as the love child of lemon and mandarin with traces of grapefruit. The juice is combined with mountain water, locally grown Kumamoto rice and a blend of beet sugar and Australian cane sugar over a 30-day process, and the liqueur is bottled at 30% ABV (60 proof) in a 750ml bottle, stronger than most fruit liqueurs so it holds its own in a cocktail. The aroma is floral, sweet and acidic at the same time, the signature of fresh yuzu rather than a candied citrus flavoring. It works as a highball with soda, in a sour or a gimlet in place of lime cordial, in a margarita or French 75 in place of the citrus liqueur, or simply poured over ice after dinner.
