So I’m very torn on this cocktail. The sake definitely comes through, enough that that you want to use good sake. However, any sake that I would deem good enough to use I would want to drink on its own. It’s a conundrum.
This is really good! The sake helps bring out some more of the butterscotchy coconut notes I get from Four Roses bourbon and the sweetness from the vermouth bring out the best of the Akashi Tai Honjozu sake I'm using. Really good stuff!
