Like lemon meringue pie, but with the perfumed citrus of yuzu.
A clarified milk punch that turns the dessert into a drink. Yuzu brings its distinctive aromatic citrus character, while the pastry notes come from milk infused with pailleté feuilletine, capturing toasted pastry and buttery cereal-milk flavours. The clarification leaves the drink crystal clear and silky, with Black Cow Vodka providing the base spirit, distilled from whey and quietly echoing the dairy thread running through the glass.
