Sake Martini

"Many, many years ago my boss & her husband threw a dinner party and served sake martinis. I can remember the aroma of the cucumber slice, perched on the side of the glass, made all the difference. I have always wanted to find a recipe and think I have. Compliments of Epicurious.com. Posting for safe keeping."

  1. Five stars because I'm drinking it now and it makes me incredibly happy! I love vodka and sake and cucumbers! I think I'll add a bit more sake next time. This is not a sweet martini at all (which I love...don't sugar the rim, sugar!), and that means it's quite boozy (which I also love, quite coincidentally). I am now eagerly awaiting the moment when I can savor my martini-soaked cucumber ball garnishy-thing. Ain't Fridays wonderful? I chose your recipe, Chicago, because your name invokes the city of my birth and I love you. I love everyone. Everyone, please try this sake martini. Love, *sandar*

Although I have not been active in a few years, I still return to look for recipes from some of my fave chefs. Thanks to all you have helped me over the years and thanks a bunch to any and all reviews.
