  • 1 sparkling water from a can or bottle
  • ice cubes
  • fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

Notes

In my experience, Yuzuco is the most consistently available brand of yuzu juice. I can usually find imported yuzu juice in Asian grocery stores, but the labels can be confusing and some are more concentrated/intense than others. This Yuzu Lemonade recipe was tested with Yuzuco (both the super juice and 100% juice) so ratios are based on that. 
Adjust the intensity of sweet or sour flavors by adding more or less simple syrup.
