Not as finished as the Cherry Blossom No. 2; but a nice twist on a straight Daiquiri. The pink colour may make it more appealing for those who may otherwise avoid the clean (strong) lines of a straight Daiquiri.

How did I make the cherry blossom syrup?

I used Monin’s proprietary cherry blossom syrup.

A lot of improvising with this one. 50 ml trois rivieres cuvee de l'ocean (So no saline solution needed), infused with sencha tea with sakura (infusion within infusion, lol), 15 ml kwai feh lychee, 5 ml stock maraschino, 15 ml lime Juice, 2,5 ml agave syrup.
