Sakura Martini !
1 servings
Ingredients:
1 salted cherry blossom
Ice
2 1/2 ounces dry sake
1 ounce gin
1/4 teaspoon maraschino liqueur
Directions:
A few hours before you plan to serve the drink, soak the salted cherry blossom in hot water to remove any excess salt, then transfer to cold water until you’re ready to serve the drink. You may want to use tweezers to avoid damaging the flower.
About 5 minutes before serving, chill a cocktail glass in the freezer.
Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add the sake, gin and maraschino liqueur, and stir to chill and dilute.
Strain the drink into the chilled glass and garnish with the cherry blossom.

Erika Rose as Dido and Kathryn Tkel as Zoe in “An Octoroon” at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.
An Octoroon, Jacobs-Jenkins’ Obie-winning riff on a 19th century melodrama that helped shape the debate around the abolition of slavery, is an incendiary adaptation. Part period satire, part meta-theatrical middle finger, it’s a provocative challenge to the racial pigeonholing of 1859—and of today.
