This cocktail is visually beautiful with deep red wine literally floating on top of the orange-hued blend of sake, sweet vermouth, and orange juice. It is refreshing enough to enjoy during a cocktail party on your back patio, but also transitions beautifully as an aperitif before a summer dinner party.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Junmai-style sake
- 1 ounces sweet vermouth
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 ounce Côtes du Rhône, or other medium-bodied red wine
Directions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the sake, vermouth, and orange juice. Shake vigorously, then strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice.
- Holding a spoon cup-side down over the glass, slowly pour the wine over the back of the spoon, so that it falls gently into the glass and floats above the other ingredients.
