Notes

Pro Tips

  • Persimmon syrup: Make your own by simmering fresh persimmon pulp with sugar and water, then strain and cool.
  • Bitters balance: Adjust the amount of bitters to suit your taste preference—more dashes for a bolder citrus note.
  • Ice matters: Use a large, clear ice cube to keep the drink cool without diluting its robust flavor.
