Looks refreshing. I’ve not heard of Agave nectar or yuzu. Are these hard to find? Do they have alcohol content or are they mainly for flavor?
Agave nectar is availible at well stocked grocery stores as well as on-line such as at www.monin.com or on amazon.com. Yuzu is availible bottled at asian grocers.They are mainly for flavor and have no alcohol content. Enjoy and thank you for watching!
Great! Thank you! Funny thing is now that I think of it…. I may already have some Agave nectar at home. I must say I love this website!! I originally came via Robert Hess’s series and before I knew it I was having a blast learning from all of you. It sure is a great hobby! Great way to make friends too. A big thanks to all who contribute!!
