White Yuzu Sour

Complex and sippable with natural flavor and body, our signature flavors are defined by oaky hints of vanilla and warm spice, followed by a velvety smooth finish.

White Yuzu Sour

Drawing inspiration from traditional sour cocktails, the Yuzu Sour blends the familiar sweet and sour taste with a twist of east Asian flair. Featuring yuzu, a citrus favorite in East Asia, this cocktail mirrors the delightful taste of a Lemon Cream tart. The combination of yuzu’s zesty tang and the smoothness of Wheyward Spirit offers a simple, yet unforgettable cocktail experience. 

‍

2 oz Wheyward Spirit

¾ oz Yuzu Juice

1 Egg White

1 ¼ oz Cocoa Butter Syrup*

Ice

Lemon Twist

‍

Combine Wheyward Spirit, Yuzu Juice, Egg White, and Cocoa Butter Syrup in a shaker. Dry shake (without ice) for 20-30 seconds to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake for another 10-15 seconds. Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass. The egg white will create a frothy top layer. Garnish with a lemon twist. 

‍

*Cocoa Butter Syrup:

200 g Hot Water (8 oz)

2.7 g Acacia Gum (¼ tsp)

0.3 g Xanthan Gum (A pinch, about ⅛ tbsp)

110 g Unsalted Butter (4 oz)

40 g Cocoa Butter (1.5 oz)

Vanilla Extract (1 tbsp)

200 g Sugar (8 oz)

‍

Blend Gums in the Water. Melt the butter with cocoa butter and vanilla. Strain and add to the Gum Blend. Add Sugar, Blend, Strain and keep refrigerated. 

Tip: Measuring the ingredients for the syrup using grams is the preferred method, but if you don't have a scale, we've included another method using ounces, teaspoons, and tablespoons.

‍

Tip: If crafting syrup at home is too labor-intensive, store-bought gomme or gum syrup in your chosen flavor is a practical alternative. The gum Arabic in the syrup not only alters the cocktail’s flavor profile but also helps to stabilize egg whites, producing the signature silky texture showcased in this concept.

Clarified milk punches date back to the 1600’s, but we think it’s a recipe that has finally come full circle with the addition of Wheyward Spirit. We love this cocktail because it’s just as much a journey in food science as it is mixology! This labor of love leads to a pre-batched and incredibly smooth flavorful punch that can be stored for weeks and quickly served for large groups. 

Our crystal clear Tropical Milk Punch is a beautiful color with a tropical brightness, cooling mint and green tea undertones, rounded out by a silky smoothness.


Tropical Clarified Milk Punch

The sustainable duo of Wheyward Spirit and Neutral’s Half and Half combine to create a delicious, creamy, and refreshing cocktail reminiscent of your favorite childhood popsicle!

Wheyward Creamsicle

Wheyward Spirit’s sustainability efforts don’t stop with the spirit. The Waste Not Sour reflects our values of upcycling and reducing food waste whenever possible by using aquafaba in place of egg whites, and zesting lemon for garnish before using the fresh juice. The result is a creamy, foamy, and sustainable cocktail so you can feel good about what’s in your glass down to the last drop.

Waste Not Sour

For a refreshing burst of ginger and citrus, we've partnered up with The Ginger People® for The 20/20 cocktail! The oaky notes and hint of vanilla in Wheyward Spirit pair perfectly with this cocktail's herbal brightness and touch of sweet earthiness from the added carrot.
