Ichigo Sour | Cocktail Party

Ichigo Sour

Strawberry (ichigo in Japanese) and sake are a classic pairing, and they’re at their best in the Ichigo Sour, a recipe from the Sake One company. Sake One recommends nigori sake, an unfiltered variety with more sweetness and rice flavor. However, this simple recipe lends itself to any type of sake, including sparkling. You could also mix it up by using strawberry or lemon syrup in place of simple, or lemon juice if you don’t have yuzu on hand.

Ingredients

Instructions

Puree the strawberries, simple syrup, and yuzu juice in a blender (or by hand, with a muddler). Pour unstrained into a short ice-filled glass. Top with sake and stir to combine. Garnish with a sprig of mint, a lemon twist, or fresh strawberry slices.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
