i laughed at my own joke

Martini 18

‘Sake’ it to Me  (haha!)

1oz sake

1oz pomegranate liqueur

I had sushi for dinner, yo! It was only fitting I have sake for a martini!!!  Kinda tastes like iced tea…

Strong (Does the sushi help soak up the alcohol?)  Nope!  This one is down for the count! It complements the sushi very well, and makes you feel cool because you are drinking sake.. Herrooo!!!!

Tastiness (Turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese, I really think so?)  Perhaps.  It is a very decadent drink.  However, like I said, it tastes like iced tea.  Not sure how or why that happened, but if you are looking to change it up, maybe add some iced tea and call it a cocktail!

Difficulty (Who the heck has sake sitting in their liquor cabinet?!?)  I do.  Luckily.  I am pretty sure we bought it because the bottle was so awesome.  Thankfully we did.  I did change the recipe totally.  It called for sake, lychee juice and a lychee for garnish.  I shook the world a little bit, eliminated any non-alcoholic component and added my own pomegranate ideas!!!

Overall (Was it ‘Sake-tastic?’)  I would definitely make up a new word for this drink.  It is ‘new word make up-able.’  AND I would make up a new phrase for it too!  This drink is off the sake chain.  Raise the sake, put a little sake in it, I got 99 problems but this sake ain’t one…
