Ingredients
1 oz Sakura
infused simple syrup
2 oz White peach purée
4 oz Sparkling water
1 oz Lemon juice
Fresh cherries and edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
Begin by infusing sugar with sakura blossoms to create a fragrant, floral simple syrup. Allow it to steep for at least 30 minutes to extract the delicate aroma.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the sakura infused simple syrup, white peach purée, and lemon juice. Shake vigorously until well combined and chilled.
Strain the mixture into a glass filled with fresh ice, leaving enough space for the sparkling water.
Gently pour the sparkling water over the strained liquid, taking care not to disturb the delicate foam atop the drink.
For garnish, add a handful of fresh cherries and edible flowers on a skewer or floating in the drink.
