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
  • Soda Water to top
  • 1 piece Lemon twist (for garnish)
  • Ice
