#Pro Tips from Baza
** Yuzu Juice ** Fresh yuzu can be hard to find, but bottled yuzu juice is a great alternative. Its unique flavor is well worth the search.
** Adjust Sweetness ** Balance the tartness of yuzu with simple syrup according to your taste. Start small and add as needed.
** Garnish Options ** A twist of yuzu peel not only adds flavor but also a beautiful aromatic experience as you sip.
