This simple and sweet sparkling yuzu lemonade is so easy and quick to make, and totally refreshing and delicious!
Do you ever try something new at a restaurant, and then you can’t stop thinking about it? That’s how this sparkling yuzu lemonade was for me! My husband and I went on a (very rare and therefore very special!) date a few months ago and had dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant. I was in the mood to try something new, and the mocktail section of their menu was calling to me. It was a tough choice, but the lemonade won out, and it was even better than I had imagined! My drink was the perfect combination of sweet and tart, with just a tiny edge of bitterness to balance out the other flavors. It was incredibly refreshing, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since!
Since I’m totally into flavored sodas, I figured it would be a great idea to figure out how to make it at home. I did a lot of research into yuzu syrup, and narrowed it down to three brands that looked great: Monin, Real, and Portland Syrups. And honestly they all looked fantastic, but I ultimately went with the Real brand syrup because I was impatient and it would deliver the fastest. It was a great choice, but I’m excited to try one of the other brands when my bottle runs out. (I’ll keep you posted on whether the others hold up as well.) This sparkling yuzu lemonade is so refreshing and delicious that it’s going to be on repeat all summer long!
