Originally from China but now grown in Japan, Yuzu is a wobbly looking citrus fruit with a sweet, sharp flavour that’s entirely unique. They are sought out for their heady, floral aroma that is slightly difficult to place. 

On the winter solstice in Japan, it is customary to bathe in hot springs with the floating rinds of Yuzu. It is said the aromas relax the body, mind and spirit.

The refreshing fragrance of elderflower blossoms pair perfectly with Yuzu in this balanced cocktail. Elderflower is a symbol of the English summer - each bud should be picked from hedgerows just as they open on warm, sunny days. 

In ancient folklore on the British Isles, Elder branches are hung above doorways to ward off evil spirits.

Recognisable by their thick, bright green skin, Persian Limes tend to be less acidic and bitter than other varieties of Lime. They add the perfect freshness to both Yuzu & Elderflower, and Plum & Hibiscus.

In Sri Lankan folklore, limes originated during a fight between two cobra gods, when their fangs turned to seeds and the poison became lime juice.
