What could be better than a cocktail with Canadian whiskey that is reminiscent of Christmas but tastes great all year round?
40 ml James E. Pepper 1776 rye whiskey 30 ml Morrand Kirsch 10 ml Tempus Fugit crème de cacao 1 Dash Angostura bitters
Preparation: Stirred. Optionally garnished with cherry.
If you search the internet for “Cherry Blossom”, you will find numerous different drinks. So the name is unfortunately not unique. The version we present comes from Jamie Boudreau, from the„Canon“ in Seattle. He reports that he was inspired to make this autumnal drink by his childhood memories. The highlight of Christmas for him was a Canadian Christmas treat: large chocolate-covered maraschino cherries.
