Sake-Grapefruit Fizz
Briefly

The article outlines the preparation of a refreshing grapefruit cocktail that mixes the flavors of grapefruit, sparkling sake, and botanical gin. It emphasizes serving the drink very cold and using highly carbonated sake like SummerFall for optimal taste. Instead of shaking the ingredients, a quick stir is recommended to maintain the integrity of the flavors. The article also suggests making a batch in advance by mixing the base ingredients, then serving it over ice topped with sake and seltzer for a bubbly finish.
This bubbly cocktail pairs the bittersweet flavor of grapefruit with sparkling sake and botanical gin, best served cold for optimal flavor.
Using SummerFall sake is preferred for its carbonation and light drinkability; adjust with sparkling water if your sake is sweet.
Shaking cocktails with simple syrup can dilute the delicate flavors; a quick stir is sufficient to mix before adding fizzy components.
Prepare the base up to three hours ahead by mixing grapefruit, lemon, simple syrup, and gin, then serve over ice with sake and seltzer.
