Pro Tips
- Use a high-quality Japanese gin with floral and citrus-forward botanicals for the best balance.
- Stir gently instead of shaking to maintain the drink’s clarity and carbonation.
- Chill the Cherry Blossom Tonic beforehand to keep the drink cool without excessive dilution.
- Experiment with different maraschino liqueurs, such as Luxardo, for varying levels of almond and cherry depth.
- Serve in a tall, narrow highball glass to enhance the visual layering and carbonation retention.
