This refreshing Sake Mojito cocktail is perfect for relaxing on a warm day in the backyard. Crushed mint and a splash of lime pair perfectly with the classic Japanese sake used in this creative twist on the famous Cuban drink.
To a cocktail shaker, add 6 mint leaves, 1 tsp sugar, and ½ lime cut into small pieces. Crush well with a cocktail muddler.
Add 5 oz sake. Then, close the lid and shake well. Strain the liquid into a glass filled with ice cubes.
Top with 1 oz club soda (2 Tbsp) and garnish with 1 sprig mint. Enjoy!
