Ingredients
  

2 oz gin (preferably a herbal or botanical gin)

1 oz fresh lemon juice

0.5 oz tahini

0.5 oz simple syrup (or to taste)

2 dashes of soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 dash of sesame oil

1 oz club soda

Ice cubes

Lemon twist or sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tahini Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the tahini with a little bit of water (about a teaspoon) to thin it out. Stir until smooth and set aside.

    Mix the Cocktail Base: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

      Prepare the Glass: Fill a highball or coupe glass with ice.

        Pour the Cocktail: Strain the cocktail mixture into the glass over the ice.

          Add the Fizz: Top off with club soda, giving it a gentle stir to combine.

            Create the Tahini Swirl: Using a teaspoon, carefully drizzle the tahini mixture over the top, allowing some to swirl into the drink without completely mixing it in. You can use a skewer to create artistic swirls if desired.

              Garnish: Finish with a lemon twist or a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for an extra touch of elegance.
