This Reverse Martini-style cocktail originally featured a floating salted cherry blossom as a garnish. This is not just for looks; the hint of saltiness...
60ml Gin (Thresh&Winnow Forét)
45ml Sake (Dassai 45 Junmai Daiginjo)
5ml Maraschino liqueur (Lazzaroni)
Stir ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass. Fine strain into a chilled Coupe glass. Garnish with salt-preserved Sakura blossoms.
This resulted in an awesome martini due to the Japanese-influenced Shiso gin. It seemed a shame to cut back according to the OG recipe.
