About the Recipe
After a homemade dinner of Thai curry and rice, I still had ginger syrup on the stove. I cooled it down, added some sake and citrus, and the result was smooth heat with a bright finish. A golden-hour kind of drink.

½ oz lime juice
2 oz chilled sake

Ice
Instructions

Mix ginger syrup with lime juice in a shaker.
Step 2
Add sake and ice, shake gently.
Step 3
Strain into glass over ice.

Tips
