Sakura Gin Fizz

Description

Sakura Gin Fizz keeps the cherry-blossom note deliberately subtle. Gin gives botanical structure, lemon supplies brightness and sakura syrup contributes a gentle floral-fruit perfume rather than an overt cherry flavour.

Egg white creates the traditional fizz texture and soda opens the aroma. The drink should feel pale, light and refreshing, with sakura appearing mostly on the nose and finish.

Ingredients

45 ml Gin
20 ml lemon juice
15 ml Sakura Syrup
15 ml Egg White
Approx. 60 ml Soda Water, to top
1 piece Lemon twist (for garnish)
Ice

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Shake with ice for proper chill, dilution and texture. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for fine-straining where the recipe calls for it.

Instructions

Add gin, lemon juice, sakura syrup and egg white to a shaker without ice.
Dry shake for 10 seconds, then add ice and shake again until very cold.
Strain into a chilled highball glass without ice or over a small amount of fresh ice.
Top slowly with soda water to lift the foam.
Garnish with a fine lemon twist.
