Just wondering whether lime juice is missing from this recipe?

I don’t think so as yuzushu already lends a ton of tartness.

Your right. Yuzushu is the sour element in this truly Yuzu Margarita.

listen Lone. i'm with you on this one. i suppose it depends on the yuzushu. i used Choya and the drink was on the sweet side. a little lime would have helped. could possibly forego the agave syrup, however it does bring nice flavour.
