- 1 tablespoon honey
- A splash of water
- 2 oz cherry blossom gin
- 1 oz fresh lemon juice
- 2 oz strawberry puree (made from 1 1/2 cups strawberries, 1 tbsp honey, and a splash of water)

- In a cocktail shaker, combine the cherry blossom gin, fresh lemon juice, strawberry puree, and egg white.
- Dry shake the mixture (without ice) for 10-15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture.
