  • Refreshing. Maybe try a more spirit forward version next time with 2 oz rye and 1/2 oz falernum/lime
  • As summer draws to a close, this extraordinarily well balanced drink gives great reason to look forward to the next season of the sun. Well done! — ★★★★★

Todd Birkel commented on 8/15/2022:

I happen to have the syrup for the ‘Cubed Old Fashioned’ on hand, which married perfectly with this drink. I used lemon juice instead of lime juice, because it is generally what I prefer. A truly successful whiskey-tiki libation.


drjones commented on 2/25/2023:

One of the most balanced cocktails with Fernet that I've had. I'll reduce the Falernum & Lime to .5oz each next time, as suggested, sine I like boozier Tiki cocktails.

  • Definitely 5★ in terms of looks. Taste is simple and sake forward. I would add a pinch of salt before mixing, especially if using fresh Sakura (which is even better looking).
  • a sake-dominant drink.

Made with Drumshanbo Gunpowder gin, Brooklyn Kura Blue Door Junmai sake, and Luxardo Maraschino (and a dash of Regan's orange bitters to make up for the lack of the cherry blossom). The green tea notes of the gin works very, very well - I would recommend using Roku or any other Japanese gin here as well. The drink is well-balanced when using these ingredients; the sake does not overpower the gin's botanicals.

If you can find sake bermutto (vermouth made from sake), consider using it here and increasing the proportion of gin.

Nice alternative to a whiskey and soda for those of us who can't drink whiskey (for a variety of reasons). The hints of tiki are a really nice bonus.

On second try, I'd say it's not my cuppa.
