Zen Green Tea Liqueur
by admin on Jun.04, 2007, under herbal liqueur, liqueur, spirit
Background: Produced by Suntory, a Japanese company that also produces Midori and a range of malt whiskies. Neutral spirits infused with green tea and herbs.
Nose: Slightly earthy; sweet melon and green tea, with some lemongrass notes.
Taste: Quite sweet; rich green tea flavour with herbal undertones. Medium finish is exactly what you would get from extremely sweet green tea.
(Raindrops keep falling in my drink…)
Nose: Still green tea and lemongrass.
Taste: The sweetness seems a bit cloying, and the flavour doesn't come through very clearly.
Overall: Well, it's different. I think you could whip up something similar with a cup of green tea and some vodka, and that way you could tone down the sugar to a reasonable level. Drinkable.
