Summer Cocktail 101: Blood Orange and Sake Spritzer



A good friend of The Drift, Katie Clements, has an amazing blog full of charm, warmth and delicious recipes perfect for anytime of the year.


Katie, an accomplished teacher by day and baker/chef by night, started Making Michael Pollan Proud as a way to share her love of good, healthy food and not-so-healthy baked goods. The result is a destination for Brooklynites and more!

We spent a rainy, humid afternoon together and had to try a simple, summery cocktail for future cook-outs and stoop hang-outs when the sun is shining. The result is a light, fruity, but not sweet mix of sake and Pellegrino Blood Orange soda.

Recipe:

2 parts San Pellegrino Arancia Rossa soda (or another brand of your favorite blood orange soda)
1 part sake (should be a clear, tart kind)
handful of ice
slice or twist of blood orange for garnish
