Kankitsurui - more citrus is (almost) impossible...
Apr 15, 2021
There are countless citrus fruits in Japan, such as amanatsu, hassaku, mikan mandarin, Buddha's hand or the very good acquaintance, the yuzu. The "Kankitsurui" is a gin-based cocktail that is based on Sakurao Gin Original alongside yuzu and kumquat liqueur. This contains various types of citrus and oranges as botanicals. More citrus in a glass is hardly possible.
For the Kankitsurui you need:
- 3cl Sakurao Gin Original
- 1.5cl Yuzu Rocks liqueur
- 1.5cl Dover Kinkan liqueur (kumquat)
- 1cl Grand Manier
- 1cl Red Vermouth
- 1cl Simple Syrup
Preparation:
Put all the ingredients in a shaker with plenty of ice, shake well and strain into a cocktail glass.
Cheers!
