Sakura Mint Speakeasy Splash
Sakura means “cherry blossom,” and is a word of both wonder and beauty.
If you’ve never experienced the cherry blossom blooming season, you really must find yourself “there” someday – the mall in D.C., or perhaps Japan.
While I did not necessarily find myself in the middle of a Japanese village at Sakura Speakeasy, I did discover myself, yet again, swimming in a dream of cocktail creation and inspiration.
I took the cherry blossom theme to another level.
Enjoy.
Sakura Mint Speakeasy Splash
2 oz. goooooooood bourbon
1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
1 tsp. simple syrup (lime simple syrup, if you have it)
2 tiny drops cherry blossom essential oil
2 Candied Lime pieces
2 fresh mint leaves
Combine all ingredients, along with ice, in a cocktail shaker.
Shake, shake, shake until extra cold.
Strain and serve the recovered lime and mint.
So refreshing!
