Japanese Mule: A Ginger Beer and Sake Cocktail
The perfect lightly spiced and fresh cocktail combines all my favorite ingredients for both summer and winter nights.
Equipment
- Jug + covering
- Fridge
Ingredients
- 1 can ginger beer
- 1 c - 250 ml sake better quality means better results here
- bunch coriander stems removed
- 1/4 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/2 lime thinly sliced
- 1" - 1.5 cm ginger peeled and thinly sliced
- ice cubes to taste, in summer
Instructions
- Slowly pour 1 can of ginger beer into a jug. Let it run in gently down the side to avoid it losing too much fizz.
- Add 1 c - 250 ml of sake.
- Roughly tear up leaves of 1 bunch of coriander and add these to the gingerbeer/ sake mixture with 1/4 thinly sliced cucumber, 1/2 thinly sliced lime and 1" - 1.5 cm's of peeled and thinly sliced ginger.
- Cover and let sit in your fridge to let the flavors come together for a little bit, about 15 minutes or so. And pour into the most beautiful glasses you can find.
- Finish with some ice cubes if you want.
Notes
To make this alcohol free double the ginger beer and leave out the sake.
