As close as I can get to the 1000 Cranes cocktail.

2 oz of a mix containing Ichiko Saiten that had sliced cucumber sitting in it for 4 hours, some Midori, some Mastica, some St. Germain.

3/4 oz lime juice (had no lemons)

One teaspoon lime leaf simple (complicated?) syrup

One teaspoon orange syrup.

Shaken, topped with fever tree yuzu lime soda.

    I’ve been considering lime / lemon trees as I get more into this hobby. How hard are they to maintain?

      Easy here (Florida) and the dwarf trees can grow in a pot so even if you are somewhere cold it’s possible. Main problem in Florida is diseases - trees to grow here must come from nearby and be clean of citrus greening.

      My lime tree made it 2 years in a pot before I planted it into the ground. Used “citrus spikes” to fertilize it, it did make plenty of fruit in season.

      I would say easy compared to most fruit trees.

      Learning to make super juice helps too - if you are having a party you can just leave that out and it tastes fresh all night.
