Want to make your own Seaweed French 75? Here's Sachi's recipe: 2 parts seaweed based gin, 1 part lime juice, 1 part kombu simple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon of saline solution, 4 drops of sesame oil. Combine in a cocktail shaker and shake over ice for 5-10 seconds. Strain into a coup or flute and top with prosecco to taste. Garnish with dash of furikake seaweed seasoning and enjoy!

To make the saline solution, combine 1 teaspoon of salt in one cup of water. Shake or boil to combine.

To make the Kombu Simple Syrup, in saucepan combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar, and add one 5" piece of kombu, unrinsed. Bring almost to a boil then turn off heat and allow to steep until syrup is a pale green color. Allow to cool then enjoy.
