What is Yuzu Lemonade?

Yuzu Lemonade is a refreshing, citrusy beverage that has gained popularity in restaurants and bars across the United States. It's a twist on traditional lemonade, infused with the unique flavor and aroma of yuzu, a citrus fruit from East Asia.

What is Yuzu?

Yuzu (Citrus junos) is a small, yellow or green citrus fruit native to China, Japan, and Korea. It's often described as a cross between a grapefruit and an orange, with a tart, slightly sweet flavor profile. Yuzu peel is often used as a garnish or zest in Japanese cuisine, and its juice is used as a flavor component in various sauces and marinades.

  • Sweet
    A subtle sweetness from the sugar or honey, balanced by the tartness of the yuzu juice.
  • Tart
    A hint of citrusy acidity from the yuzu, similar to a combination of lemon and grapefruit.
  • Fruity
