Here is a sensuous drink with a beautiful mix of flowers that is perfect for Valentine's Day or any romantic occasion. The Blushing Geisha is light on the alcohol but the bouquet is anything but light. In here we have a mix of the complex flavors of TY KU sake liqueur (aphrodisiacs included), luscious pomegranate juice, and rose nectar for a little herbal sweetness. Mix it up with your special someone and watch the sparks fly.

|Prep Time: 3 minutes | Total Time: 3 minutes 😐 Yield: 1 Cocktail| (you can print PDF Recipe below)

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 ounces TyKu Liqueur
  • 1 ounce pomegranate juice
  • 2 ounces Sence rose nectar
  • Lime wedge for garnish
PREPARATION
  1. Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir well.
  3. Strain into a stemmed glass or over ice in an old-fashioned glass.
  4. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Recipe Variations

  • To make a single cocktail, simply divide all the ingredients in half.
  • Rather than pomegranate juice, pour pomegranate liqueur (e.g., Pama, Giffard, Bols) instead. Pomegranate vodka is another option, though the drink will have a lighter profile.
  • Add lemonade to this recipe for a slightly taller and very refreshing drink.
  • Top the drinks off with sparkling wine. A lovely sparkling rosé would be a fine choice, though prosecco or cava are great options as well. If you want to go all out, pick up a bottle of Champagne.
  • There really are no great substitutes for Ty Ku because it is a unique soju-based liqueur. However, you could pour vodka, rum, or even tequila instead and have a wonderful drink.

Tips

  • Rose nectar is not an easy ingredient to find and you may have the best luck in natural food stores.
  • Alternatively, you can use a rose syrup for cocktails (amazon link) It gets its flavor from food-grade rose water and is easy to make at home. You may find that you need a little less in the cocktail because it can be sweeter than the nectar. For less sweetness, pour straight food-grade rose water instead.
