History

A "Margarita" without an agave spirit is worthy of debate, but this recipe demonstrates sake's versatility in cocktails.

Adapted from a signature cocktail served at the China Rose Chinese restaurant in Rhinecliff, USA, until it closed circa 2016. Niki La, a fellow Discerning Drinker and patron of the restaurant, shared the recipe with us in 2023, calling it "the best sake drink I've ever had."
