Serves 2

Ingredients

  • ½ cup diced cantaloupe
  • 3 ounces amber sake (see Cook's Note)
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur
  • 1 ounce fresh yuzu or lemon juice
  • ½ ounce honey
  • Roughly cracked or small ice cubes

Equipment

  • 2 cocktail glasses

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, use a muddler to pulverize the cantaloupe until the fruit is lightly mashed and the juices are released. Add the sake, orange liqueur, yuzu juice, and honey to the shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Cover and shake for 30 seconds to chill. Strain and divide the mixture evenly between two coupe glasses. Serve at once.

Cook's Notes

Sweet and rich, amber sake is aged in oak barrels for several years. This process not only deepens the spirit's color but results in a more complex and aromatic expression of the sake with nutty notes of toffee or aged fruit.
