YU GIN
This French newcomer to the gin category is inspired by Japanese tradition. Distilled with juniper berries, yuzu, Szechuan pepper, coriander, and licorice—the spirit offers a pronounced citrus nose and flavor. The stunning glass bottle is designed to be reminiscent of a raked-sand Japanese Zen Garden. Yu Gin is crafted by Spiritique, a French company with a passion for creating high-quality French spirits made with the best ingredients.
MARIE BRIZARD
Perfect for cocktail making, Marie Brizard’s Yuzu liqueur is clear and colorless with an innovative flavor. Bright, lightly floral, tart, and with a hint of bitterness, the subtle citrus fruit notes play well in a wide range of flavor combinations. The 20% ABV spirit is made using natural essential oils, no colorings, and no preservatives.
CHOYA YUZU
Refreshing yuzu is blended with the classic flavor of Umeshu in this unique liqueur. After initially opening in 1914 as a wine-grape growing company, Choya has been crafting Umeshu since 1959. The brand is the number one maker of Umeshu worldwide. The yuzu line blends the zesty citrus with sweet and tart ume for a truly unique spirit that can be enjoyed straight or mixed into cocktails, like a Margarita riff.
