Sakura Breeze (with alcohol)
Description
The Sakura Breeze cocktail captures the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms in Japan. Served in elegant, stemless glasses, the drink resembles a soft pink sunset. The pale blush of cherry blossom-infused liqueur, the gentle translucence of sake, and the subtle citrus notes create a visually enchanting experience. Garnished with a floating cherry blossom or a twist of lemon peel, the Sakura Breeze is a poetic nod to the ephemeral beauty of Japanese springtime.
