It’s Friday, so it’s time for a drink. And this one’s especially easy–you don’t even need to go to the liquor store. (At least everywhere I’ve lived, sake is sold at the grocery store, near the wine.) For this drink, all you need is some sake, a couple of grapefruits, and margarita salt, if you roll that way.
Salty Sake Greyhound
2 oz sake
6 oz fresh grapefruit juice (1-2 grapefruit)
margarita salt
ice
mint leaves
Cut the grapefruit in half and slice off a small piece or two for garnishes. Juice the grapefruit. If you want a salted rim, run a grapefruit slice around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim in margarita salt. Add grapefruit juice, sake, and ice to the glass, stir, garnish with mint and a grapefruit slice, and serve.
