Cocktail of the week: Junsei’s shai prince – recipe | The good mixer

This drink blends winter fruit and Japanese rice vodka, which is crisp and clean due to its double filtration through bamboo charcoal. The elderflower and apple juice add acidity and sweetness, while the tea delivers sweet, herbal notes and the lime juice a balancing sour element.
