Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Chill your sparkling water in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before making the Cherry Blossom Rose Lemonade.
  2. If using homemade cherry blossom syrup, combine equal parts cherry blossoms and sugar with water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then let simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Strain out the blossoms and allow to cool.
  3. In a large pitcher, mix together freshly squeezed lemon juice, the cooled cherry blossom syrup, and a splash of rosewater. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Slowly pour in the chilled sparkling water to preserve carbonation, ensuring not to overflow the pitcher.
  5. Carefully stir the mixture just enough to integrate all elements and pour over ice-filled glasses. Garnish with fresh lemon wheels, cherries, or edible flowers.
  6. For enhanced flavor, let the mixed drink sit in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
