Say that three times fast… we did, last Sunday at the Edible BC ‘Sushi, Sake and Summer’ fundraiser for the Crabtree Corner facility.  To compliment Sushi Chef Tojo’s creations and toast Evaleen Jaager Roy’s new book, we concocted something, that by all accounts ‘tastes like summer’:

Tastes like Summer

2 shiso leaves
0.25 cup chopped cucumber
2 oz Victoria Gin
2 oz pear nectar

Muddle shiso and cucumber.  Add Vic Gin and pear juice and shake on ice.  Garnish with half a shiso leaf.  Shiso-licious!
