Cherry Blossom

Was kann es besseres geben als einen an Weihnachten erinnernden Cocktail mit kanadischem Whiskey, der aber durchaus das ganze Jahr hindurch mundet?

40 ml James E. Pepper 1776 Rye Whiskey
30 ml Morrand Kirsch
10 ml Tempus Fugit Crème de Cacao
1 Dash Angostura Bitters

Zubereitung: Gerührt. Optional mit Kirsche garniert.

Durchsucht man das Internet nach dem „Cherry Blossom“, findet man zahlreiche verschiedene Drinks. Der Name ist also leider nicht eindeutig. Die von uns vorgestellte Version stammt von Jamie Boudreau, aus dem „Canon“ in Seattle. Er berichtet, daß er zu diesem herbstlichen Drink durch seine Kindheitserinnerungen inspiriert wurde. Höhepunkt der Weihnachtstage war für ihn eine kanadische Weihnachts-Leckerei: die großen schokoladenüberzogenen Maraschino-Kirschen.

This is a really nice one. It is considered sweet,
but has both power and body. Its palatability gives
it its prime characteristic, and has made it a great
favorite with the ladies. When ordering this one
for your girl friend, you can’t go wrong.
