The light, fragrant notes in Japan’s national tipple make sake a great choice for summer cocktails, such as this refreshing long drink to mark World Gin Day on 10 June. Serves one.
20ml gin
40ml sake
15ml peach liqueur
Lemonade, to top
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dried apricot, to garnish
Fill a highball glass with ice, add the gin, sake and peach liqueur, and stir. Top with lemonade and finish with a dash of bitters. Garnish with a dried apricot and serve.
