Yuzu Gin Review

This citrus-scented spirit is among the growing scores of high-quality Japanese gins making their way over to the United States right now. It's made using a sweet potato shochu base, which provides a rich, opulent mouthfeel. Meanwhile, the zesty hero ingredient highlighted in its name leads the flavor profile, before each sip finishes with peppery complexity. Highballs are a great destination for this gin. But don’t look past it when mixing classic cocktails, too — especially those garnished with a twist.
