Sake Mojito

winehouse

You probably know I work in the wine industry but you may not know that I’m a HUGE nerd for sake. Thank you so much Monica Samuels and @accidentalbarnyc for having me at this Tozai Summer of Sake virtual tasting seminar! All of these sakes are delicious, but what was new to me was my new favorite cocktail, the matcha maiden! (The Tozai Snow Maiden nigori with matcha powder and optional agave. I’m a matcha purist so I went without.) It’s DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to visit Accidental Bar next time I’m in NYC (NYC friends go there please so I can live vicariously) and drink sake irresponsibly. 😊 (Last photo is my tasting partner Queen, who got too sloshed to share her tasting notes.) #sake #tozaisake #sakeeducation #sakecocktail #summerofsake https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSGNXEDTX6/?utm_medium=tumblr

One of my favorite drinks in the world is a martini! I don’t drink them very often, but I still love the luxury of sipping something chilled in a pretty glass! The vodka is harsh on my stomach, so I just love to create my favorite cocktails using dry Sake’ , fresh fruits , herbs and my homemade syrups as the base. This one is rose syrup, fresh raspberries, watermelon and sake’...all frothed up in the @vitamix ! It’s absolutely delicious! Try honeydew, sake’, cucumber, fresh mint leaves and fresh mint syrup or even apple, sake’ , with cinnamon and honey syrup in the fall! How about jasmine tea, fresh quince and tarragon? I think that you’ll like these a lot. They still feel and taste so festive but there’s a lot less hangover to happen! #sake #sakecocktail #fruitcocktails #sakemartini #vitamix #blendeddrinks (at Cleveland Heights, Ohio)

Ok, same cocktail, but to drink out of a glass you made at @otiumla is way more satisfying. Thank you @captneptune for helping me gather the courage to ask for my glass 😅 much love #neptuneglassworks #handmade #cocktail #otiumla #firetime #sakecocktail #dtla #numbaone (at Otium)
