Orange Blossom Gin Fizz
Yuzu tastes like a combination of grapefruit and mandarin. Look for it in bottles in Asian markets; if you have trouble finding it, substitute any citrus juice—the more exotic, the better. Another nice way to present this cocktail is with glass swizzle sticks. They make lovely tinkling sounds that seem just right for a garden party, and they give guests something to do with their hands as they chat.
