Sakura Snap Martini

This Martini variation, the Sakura Snap Martini, infuses the essence of Japanese flavors with innovative techniques like fat-washing and infusions. The combination of Persian lime olive oil-washed gin and sugar snap pea-infused blanc vermouth creates a unique and refreshing cocktail experience, while the addition of verjus adds a touch of acidity to balance the flavors. Garnished with drops of the olive oil saved from the wash, this cocktail is a modern twist on a classic favorite.
