SAKURA SOUR
​
No cocktail recipe list is complete without a sour. A sour is a very simple recipe, but a real craft to make the perfect one. Sweet & sour taste with a silky smooth texture and a thick foam on top.
​
Sakura is the Japanese name for cherry blossom. Sip this cocktail while enjoying or reminiscing spring time.
​
The recipe:
​
5cl Hana Cherry Blossom
2.5cl Fresh Lime Juice
2cl Rich Sugar Sirup
2cl Egg white
​
Garnish: Dried lemon wheel
+ a sprinkle of dried sakura flakes
Glass: Tumbler
​
​
Instructions:
​
Dry shake all ingredients, shake again with ice, fine strain and serve over ice in a tumbler style glass. In the picture we have used a Kimura handmade Japanese glass known for its minimalistic design and ultra thin quality glass.
​
Rich Sugar Sirup:
Boil 1 part of water and dissolve 2 parts of sugar in it. Keep stirring until completely dissolved and let cool down.
​
Dry shake:
Dry shake is a technique used when working with egg white in a cocktail. It is done by vigorously shaking without ice cubes in your shaker to whisk the egg white (note: the better you do this, the better your foam will be). After dry shaking, shake again with ice, this will cool and dilute the cocktail for the fresh & balanced flavour.
