Blossom time: springtime drink idea with Yomogi liqueur
Apr 04, 2025
Yomogi, or Japanese mugwort, is an extremely aromatic herb that is traditionally used in Japanese cuisine, for example by boiling the leaves and adding them to sweet mochi rice. The plants are very large and evergreen and have green, fluffy, finely cut leaves. The hardy plant thrives in most climates and is traditionally used in Eastern medicine. Mugwort is closely related to wormwood, but less bitter and much milder in taste, and is ideal for unusual and floral cocktails.
For the Yomogi Lover you need:
- 3cl Aichi Vodka Kiyosu
- 1.5cl Fukuro Shochu (Mugi, Genshu)
- 1.5cl Dover Yomogi Liqueur
Stir all the ingredients over ice, strain and enjoy.
