Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The Japanese Art of the Cocktail by Masahiro Urushido is a beautiful book with many interesting recipes. The recipe for “A Letter From the Shogun” calls for infusing Japanese whisky with strawberries and pomegranate seeds. Since I wasn’t using real whiskey I took inspiration from the flavors to come up with a low proof adaptation. Instead of strawberries I used @elguapobitters delicious Cajun Grenadine. Regular Grenadine is made with pomegranate, but El Guapo’s Cajun Grenadine is made with strawberries making it a perfect fit for this drink. Use your favorite nonalcoholic whiskey alternative. @ritualzeroproof works well in this drink. Low proof version: 1.5 oz Ritual Zero Proof Whiskey Alternative .5 oz pomegranate juice .3 oz yuzu liqueur .25 oz lime juice .25 oz El Guapo Cajun Grenadine Garnish: Japanese maple leaf Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until chilled and strain into a cup with a chunk or two of ice. Garnish with a Japanese maple leaf.
