The Russian Spring Punch is a member of the sour family, characterized by its tart and sweet flavor profile. Though its origin remains debated, it’s likely a modern invention inspired by classic sour recipes, likely emerging in the mid-20th century.
The Russian Spring Punch is a delightful fusion of sweet and tart. The vodka provides a smooth, clean base, while the crème de cassis adds a rich, blackcurrant sweetness. The sugar syrup balances the acidity of the lemon juice, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors. The cocktail is refreshingly tart and fruity, with a hint of floral notes from the crème de cassis. It’s a perfect balance of boldness and elegance.
For the best Russian Spring Punch, use high-quality vodka and crème de cassis. A good ratio is 2 parts vodka to 1 part crème de cassis. Make sure your sugar syrup is simple and not overly sweet. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key for balance. Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist for that perfect touch.
