Cocktail Colin says:
The Cherry Blossom cocktail is a delightful visual and taste spectacle, elegantly balancing the robust, fruity punch of cherry brandy with the crisp zest of lemon juice, all smoothed over by the velvety caress of Triple Sec. The dash of sugar skillfully bridges these vibrant flavors, creating a harmonious blend that’s as pleasing to the palate as it is to the eye; a true toast to spring's ephemeral beauty.

FAQ's
What type of taste profile does the Cherry Blossom cocktail have?
The Cherry Blossom cocktail offers a fruity and slightly tart taste profile, thanks to the combination of cherry brandy and lemon juice. The Triple Sec adds a sweet citrus flavor, while the teaspoon of sugar balances the tartness, resulting in a well-rounded and refreshing drink.
What is the best occasion to serve the Cherry Blossom cocktail?

Its name and flavor profile also make it a great choice for themed parties.
Can the Cherry Blossom cocktail be made into a non-alcoholic version?
Yes, a non-alcoholic version of the Cherry Blossom can be made by substituting the cherry brandy and Triple Sec with non-alcoholic cherry and orange-flavored syrups, respectively. Adjust the amount of lemon juice and sugar to taste, to keep the fruity and slightly tart profile.
How should the Cherry Blossom cocktail be garnished?
The Cherry Blossom cocktail is best garnished with a fresh cherry or a lemon twist to complement its fruity flavor profile. A sprig of mint can also add a touch of color and a fresh aroma, enhancing the overall presentation and sensory experience of the drink.
Is there any specific type of cherry brandy recommended for the Cherry Blossom cocktail?
While any quality cherry brandy can be used to make the Cherry Blossom cocktail, opting for a brand with a pronounced cherry flavor and a balance between sweetness and tartness can elevate the cocktail.

I usually don't like coktails because they can be too sweet, but this one surprised me. The lemon juice really cuts through the sweetness. It's got a nice balance. Easy to drink and refreshing. Worth a try if you're skeptical like me!
