Lucky Yu Hi-ball Recipe

Build & Shake

Add Midori, dry Curaçao, Lucky Tonka liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Cap and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.

Prepare Glass

Fill a highball glass with fresh ice (large cubes preferred).

Strain & Top

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the ice-filled highball glass to remove small ice shards. Top with 3 oz chilled soda water or tonic, gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine (3–4 gentle turns) so the carbonation remains lively.

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, then drop the twist into the glass or perch a thin lemon wheel on the rim. If using, slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aromatics and rest it against the inside of the glass.
