Cocktail recipes for Sake and Pisco - South Florida Food and Wine

I?ve been to a few cocktail tastings recently and I have to say that overall they?ve been quite memorable and rather fun, especially on a Tuesday at 3 in the afternoon. Two standout tastings for me have been a Pisco from Chile and Sakes from Japan; both styles are turning out some impressive cocktails. I enjoyed the various cocktails overall as I was able to experience a completely new dimension of pisco and sake. Both possess such commanding flavors in their own right that the mixers offered an entirely new way to enjoy pisco and sake.?Here are my a few of my favorites from the tastings, complete with recipes.

Kappa Pisco Punch

KAPPA Blue Star (think Pisco version of the Cosmo)
2 oz KAPPA Pisco
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz simple syrup
1 egg white
10 blueberries
In a shaker, muddle blueberries with simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice, add KAPPA Pisco and remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously and strain into a small champagne or martini glass.

Bloody Maru?(Mary?s distant cousin)
2 oz premium sake
4 drops Worcestershire sauce
2 drops Tabasco sauce
1 dash horseradish
1 dash lime juice
tomato juice
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Pour sake, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, horseradish, salt and pepper into a old-fashioned glass half-filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Add tomato juice, to taste. Stir again, and serve.

KAPPA Pisco Punch

KAPPA Pisco Punch?(add Prosecco to the mix and I?m thinking you?ve got a great Mimosa contender)
1 ? oz KAPPA Pisco
? oz Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge
1 oz pineapple juice
? oz fresh orange juice
? oz lime juice
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a wine goblet or rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

Electric Lemonade?(think electric slide, right down)
Mix 1-1?2 ounces sake with lemonade.
Add a splash of 7-Up and pour over ice.
Garnish with a slice of lemon.
