The arrival of spring brings the cherry blossoms and a few bars and eating places — significantly within the Capital space — rejoice the season with specialty drinks. As an illustration, the Park Hyatt Washington, D.C. gives the Cherry Blossom Spritz.
It’s made with Cappelletti Vino Aperitvo Rosso, Mancino cherry blossom vermouth, and cherry bitters, and priced at $18. The drink will likely be accessible within the resort’s Blue Duck Tavern and Blue Duck Lounge at some stage in the Nationwide Cherry Blossom Competition and the rest of April.
Blue Duck Tavern restaurant in DC, its sister eating places Ambar Clarendon and the newly opened Ambar Shaw, has the Shumadija Iced Tea. The cocktail, priced at $14, combines cherry-infused rakia, bourbon, house-made cherry purée, recent lemon juice and a berry-mint tea mix.
Macon, GA, which boasts 350,000 Yoshino cherry bushes, hosts an Worldwide Cherry Blossom Competition annually. The town’s Lodge Forty 5 gives a signature pink cocktail referred to as the Cherry Blossom, made with St. Germain, rosé, lemon juice, cherry juice and basil leaves. A industrial cherry blossom syrup offers a straightforward option to develop signature sips for the season.
