Recipes: Mount Hiko Pearl
This is a cocktail I created based on the 'family' of cocktails referred to as a pearl à la the French Pearl at the Pegu Club and the Pearl of Puebla at PDT.
Named after Mount Hiko, where legend tells that Yuzu Kosho was first created:
Mount Hiko Pearl:
1 1/2 oz. Gin (I'm still working on the exact brand, I think Tanqueray might be right)
3/4 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 oz. Green Chartreuse
1/2 oz. Simple Syrup
1 barspoon Green Yuzu Kosho (a puree of yuzu rind with green chiles and salt)
2-3 leaves Thai Basil
dash orange bitters
Shake all ingredients with ice and double-strain into a cocktail coupe
