Lemon Sour Cocktail Recipe

Instructions

1. Pour the lemon juice and shochu into a tall glass. Add plenty of ice cubes and stir to chill.

2. Add the sparkling water. Then add the sugar syrup, adjusting according to your taste: start with a small amount, taste, then adjust until you reach the desired level of sweetness. If you prefer a sugar-free version, you can dispense with the syrup altogether.

3. Stir gently with a cocktail stick, chopstick or straw to prevent the drink from losing too much gas. Garnish with a slice of lemon or rolled zest for an elegant touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your chilled Japanese lemon sour!
