Celebrate Spring with a Cherry Blossom Martini from Fierce & Kind
Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with a refreshingly elegant Cherry Blossom Martini? Inspired by the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, this cocktail combines the delicate flavors of cherry blossom tea with the robust spirit of Fierce & Kind American Vodka. Let's embark on a floral journey that not only excites your taste buds but also embraces the essence of spring.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1.75 oz Fierce & Kind American Vodka, infused with Cherry Blossom Tea
- 1 oz Vermouth Blanc
- 0.25 oz Sorel hibiscus liqueur
- Edible flower for garnish
Cherry Blossom Tea Infusion (makes roughly 4 martinis):
To capture the essence of the cherry blossoms in your vodka, you'll need:
- 2 bags of cherry blossom tea (Sakura Tea)
- 8 oz of Fierce & Kind American Vodka
How to Make the Cherry Blossom Tea Infusion:
- Infuse the Tea: Add 2 bags of cherry blossom tea to the vodka. Seal the container and let the tea infuse for 2 hours. This gentle infusion period allows the vodka to acquire a subtle floral and slightly fruity flavor without overpowering the spirit's crispness.
- Finalize the Infusion: After 2 hours, remove the tea bags and strain the vodka to ensure a smooth, clear spirit. Seal it again and store until ready to use.
Crafting Your Cherry Blossom Martini:
- Mix: In a mixing glass, combine the infused Fierce & Kind American Vodka, Vermouth Blanc, and Sorel hibiscus liqueur.
- Stir: Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds or until the cocktail is very cold.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass to prevent any unwanted ice chips or herbal remnants from clouding the drink.
- Garnish: Finally, adorn your Cherry Blossom Martini with an edible flower. This not only adds a splash of color and elegance but also enhances the floral theme of the cocktail.
