The mixture

This is how the tap works

  1. 1

    Filter citrus juice

    The yuzu juice (or lime/lemon alternative) must be strained through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter. No pulp residue should remain in the juice so that the tap remains clear and the drink looks clear.
    WINKY Hack: If you are using fresh cucumbers instead of syrup, juice them and also pass the juice very finely, but then adjust the elderflower syrup slightly for the necessary sweetness.
  2. 2

    Aromas combine

    Pour the strained yuzu juice, cucumber syrup, elderflower syrup, and a tiny pinch of sea salt into the 2-liter keg. Stir briefly with a bar spoon.
    WINKY Hack: The salt does not make the drink salty, but acts as a natural flavor enhancer for the citrus and cucumber notes.
  3. 3

    Pouring & Cooling

    Fill the keg with 1250 ml of still, cold water exactly to the 2-liter mark. Seal tightly and chill completely in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
    WINKY Hack: The colder the still water and the keg are, the more CO2 the liquid can absorb later – for a more intense fizz!
  4. 4

    Sparkling & Serving

    Pressurize the ice-cold keg with a CO2 cartridge. Fill a highball glass completely with ice cubes, pour in the mocktail, and garnish with a long cucumber strip (cut with a vegetable peeler) and a sprig of mint.
    WINKY Hack: Before decorating, briefly tap the mint on the back of your hand. This breaks open the fine cells and releases the full aroma immediately.

About this drink

Who says non-alcoholic drinks have to be boring? The Sparkling Yuzu & Cucumber Fizz is a complex, modern mocktail that impresses with its delicate balance of exotic citrus fruit, floral elderflower, and the crisp freshness of cucumber. Yuzu contributes an unparalleled, slightly tart, and multifaceted acidity that gives the drink a wonderfully sophisticated touch, reminiscent of classic highballs.

To allow the delicate aromas to fully develop, the drink is prepared entirely without fruit pulp and carbonated with CO2 in a Cocktail Keg. This creates a very fine, champagne-like effervescence that makes the mocktail incredibly vibrant. Served ice-cold, this drink is the perfect, light companion for hot summer days, garden parties, or your next brunch – 100% flavor, 0% alcohol.
