Review:
Is a "Margarita" without an agave spirit actually a Margarita is worthy of debate, but putting that question aside, this cocktail demonstrates the versatility of sake in cocktails.
History:
Adapted from a signature cocktail served at the China Rose Chinese restaurant in Rhinecliff, USA, until it closed circa 2016. Fellow Discerning Drinker Niki La was a patron of the restaurant and fan of this cocktail and shared the recipe with us in 2023, describing it as "the best sake drink I've ever had."
