A subtle twist on the vodka martini, this drink simply substitutes Japanese rice wine, or sake, for vermouth. Try it and you just might develop a yen for this delight.
You Will Need
- 2 1/2 oz. vodka
- 1/2 oz. sake
- Olives
- Ice
- A mixing glass
- A cocktail shaker
- A cocktail glass
- A clean napkin or cloth
- Japanese cucumber (optional)
Step 1: Chill glass
Chill the martini glass by filling it with ice and water, and set it aside.
Step 2: Fill w/ ice
Fill the mixing glass with ice.
Step 3: Add vodka & sake
Add the vodka and sake.
Storing your sake in the refrigerator can help preserve it for up to a year.
Step 4: Shake
Using the cocktail shaker as a lid for the mixing glass, shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
Step 5: Empty & wipe
Empty the now chilled martini glass and quickly wipe the inside to remove any trace of moisture.
Step 6: Strain
Strain the contents of the shaker into the martini glass.
Step 7: Garnish
Garnish with an olive. Kampai!
Although sake is referred to as a wine, it’s actually closely related to beer since it’s made from a grain—rice—rather than fruit.
