Tokyo Sour

This cocktail is a beautiful and elegant twist on the classic Gin Sour, allowing the culinary botanicals in the Japanese Gin to shine with notes of yuzu, toasted sesame, cucumber, sansho pepper and shiso, and it is made using a Grant Sous Vide. The result is moreish and complex with stunning flavours that are well integrated.
