Spicy Yuzu Shiso Margarita

This one's for the real yuzu lovers - an intense, floral yuzu flavor hits first and is cut through by the sweetness of pineapple after. From there, shiso adds a fresh green note, and the yuzu kosho brings savory heat, salinity, and another layer of yuzu. A twist on a Japanese-inspired verdita.
