Not Knowing Is Buddha

Not Knowing Is Buddha

  • 1.5 oz. Japanese gin (Roku)
  • 1.0 oz. Yobo Kish Bliss liqueur
  • 0.5 oz. Dolin Blanc
  • 0.25 oz. yuzu liqueur (Yuzuri)

Stir with ice and strain into glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Here I was playing with another Kristen Kish liqueur, with a sour cherry, licorice and peppercorn profile. I used a Japanese gin base with the yuzu for both sweet and tart, and some added herbal and sweet notes from the vermouth.

The name is a Buddhist variant of the Ignorance Is Bliss idiom, which I thought fitting. Though I’m glad to know this drink.
