Soft, floral and beautifully pink, the Sakura Club is a refined Christmas Day cocktail made for slow afternoons and celebratory pours. Taken from the Kanpai book, this twist on the classic Clover Club feels festive, fresh and perfectly suited to a summer table.
The Drink
Inspired by the much-loved Clover Club, the Sakura Club brings a lighter, more floral mood to the glass. Fresh raspberries provide a gentle tartness, balanced by lemon juice and simple syrup, while sakura gin adds an elegant blossom note that feels right at home during the festive season.
Finished with a silky foam and a subtle pink hue, this cocktail is ideal for Christmas Day celebrations. It works just as well as a welcome drink as it does poured later in the afternoon when the sun is high and the pace slows.
What You Need
4 fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon simple syrup
60 ml sakura gin
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 egg white or 2 tablespoons aquafaba
Ice cubes
Cherry blossom, to garnish
Method:
Add the raspberries and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and muddle until the fruit breaks down.
Add the sakura gin, lemon juice and egg white or aquafaba.
Shake vigorously without ice to emulsify the mixture and create a smooth foam.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a cherry blossom and serve immediately.
Taken from Kanpai, the Sakura Club is light, elegant and visually striking. It feels special without being overpowering, making it an ideal Christmas Day cocktail for warm weather entertaining. Floral, fresh and softly celebratory, it is the kind of drink that invites a second round.
