Classic elevation
Experience the chill of “snow country”—the literal translation of Yukiguni. Drawing from the classic regional cocktail, this version adds green tea-infused vodka to enhance the drink’s complexity without overshadowing its original simplicity. Maraschino cherry juice and lime bring a touch of brightness and balance to the mix.
