I fell head over heels for Morimoto's White Lily cocktail last weekend. It was my first time trying Morimoto's signature cocktail and I just LOVE it. What is not to love. There's Calpico (creamy!), lemon (citrusy!) shochu (smooth!) and Yuzu (citrusy!x2). I was able to approximate on how to make the cocktail without any fanfare. It came out pretty good, not exactly the same as Morimoto's but delicious nonetheless.
I don't have a cocktail shaker so I just mixed all the ingredients together in a pitcher. Chilled your ingredients before mixing so you don't have to add ice and dilute the cocktail, unless you have a shaker (the shaker strains out the cocktail from the ice). You can purchase Yuzu juice online or Japanese supermarkets.
Ingredients:
1.5L bottle Calpico (original flavor; white)
2.5 tbsp Yuzu juice
1.25 cup barley shochu
Lemon twist, for garnish (optional)
Mix ingredients in a pitcher except lemon twist. Serve on a cocktail glass with lemon twist on the side. Makes 4 drinks. Enjoy!
