Sake Screw

Day 120

Sake Screw

3.5 shots out of 5

Tonight I felt like combining some sake with orange juice, since I did pineapple juice a few days ago and it was a hit!  

I figured I'd give it a name that resembled what I was imitating, yet tell you what it actually is.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  

I think the pineapple juice in my Sake Sunrise may have been a little bit better then the orange juice, but it was worth a shot.  

I must admit, the sake in this cocktail does give it a different spin on the common Screw Driver.  

I do like the different taste to this simple cocktail, it's nice.  

Not a bunch of screaming flavor as this sake has a pretty calm flavor plus I only used 1 shot of orange juice, but in its simplicity, it was good!  

Not sure that you can tell by this photo of my cocktail, but I used a product that was sent to me to try out called Sipping Stones.  

I did a product review on it this evening which you can find here as well.  

I placed 3 sipping stones into tonight's cocktail, and I have to say that they have kept my cocktail glass chilled exactly where the liquid is!  

They do not make your entire cocktail super cold (which I don't think is their intent), but they do keep it chilled enough to enjoy it!  

The sake works well with the stones too, because you don't want to drink your sake super cold, just chilled enough.  

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for Sake Screw:

• 1 shot sake
• 1 shot orange juice
• 3 sipping stones (haha, or ice if you don't have any sipping stones)

In a short glass, place 3 sipping stones (or a few pieces of ice) at the bottom.  Add your sake and orange juice and stir.

Another good sake cocktail for the books.  Thank You to Sipping Stones for chilling tonight's cocktail perfectly!

Cheers!!

SIPPING STONES

The wonderful people at Sipping Stones sent me a sample box of their Sipping Stones. 

I was sent a free product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.  All views in this post are mine and I was not compensated for them in any way.

 These stones come in two colors, grey or white.  The idea behind these stones is to keep your whiskey (or favorite liquor) chilled for your enjoyment, without getting watered down after a while like ice cubes can do.

This is what I was sent:

                                                                                

 

Inside of the Sipping Stones box comes 9 Sipping Stones and a nifty little travel bag to put them in.  I opened up my box and washed the stones off, as it says to do on the back of the box, and put them in the freezer this morning.  When it was cocktail time this evening, I took them out and boy were they cold!  I was actually amazed at how cold they were, I honestly wasn't expecting them to be as cold as they were.

I made tonight's cocktail and used 3 sipping stones inside.  I let the cocktail sit for a couple minutes to allow the stones to "chill" my cocktail.  Since I used orange juice in my cocktail, it was already a little chilled, so I figured that the test would be to see if my cocktail stayed "chilled" even after it should have gotten to room temperature.  It did!  It worked!  It was a nice surprise to take that sip that you assume will be the "warm sip" and to actually have it chilled, and still tasting just like it did when I made it!

I think if you enjoy your liquor straight up and on the rocks, you will definitely enjoy using these Sipping Stones.  I can think of a few people who would enjoy receiving these as gifts already!  Since these stones were meant to chill your liquor of choice, I decided to also drop one into a small glass of Grappa.

The Grappa was warm out of the bottle and the stone did give it a little chill!  All in all, I think this is a good product.  Now it's time for me to go wash off these 4 stones I used tonight and stick them back into the freezer for next time!

Thank You again to the people at Sipping Stone for sending me my own box of Sipping Stones, they will definitely come in handy and be used around this house!  Cheers!!
