The French Samurai is a light and elegant cocktail with a lot of citrus.
1 ounce Le Tourment Vert
1 ounce Midori
1 ounce sweet and sour mix
Splash Yuzu juice
Splash of simple syrup
This drink is simple to make, just mix it in the cocktail shaker along with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
You can try using different brands of absinthe, Le Tourment Vert is really made for cocktails like this. Other brands will probably have too much anise flavor to create a balanced mix.
Note: Yuzu juice is a concentrated juice from the Yuzu fruit which combines the citrus flavors of lemon, lime, and orange. It comes from Japan and can be found in speciality shops.
