WINTER COCKTAILS
The heightened aromas but lower alcohol of
Satori Soju lend itself well to winter warmers and complex,
thoughtful drinks.
Satori Martini
For a soju martini with a kick, we added a splash of gin
to two ounces of Satori Origins along with white vermouth
and a few dashes of orange bitters. Stir and serve as you
would your favorite martini.
INGREDIENTS (1 SERVING)
2 oz Satori Origins
.5 oz Dry Gin
.5 oz Vermouth Bianco
2 dash Orange bitters
METHOD
In a mixing tin, add two large cubes of ice, gin, vermouth Bianco and
orange bitters. Stir untilled chilled, then add Satori Origins. Strain into
a chilled martini glass. Serve with an orange rind twist/garnish.
Red Envelope
For a perfect aperitif on a cold winter evening, mix
Satori Lemongrass, vermouth, and Campari over ice,
stir, and strain over fresh ice in a tumbler.
INGREDIENTS (1 SERVING)
1.5 oz Satori Lemongrass
.75 oz Rosé or Bianco Vermouth
.75 oz Campari
+ Lemon twist for garnish
METHOD
In a mixing tin, add two large ice cubes, Rose or
Beach Vermouth, Campari. Shake vigorously. Add Satori
Lemongrass and stir. Pour into a short tumbler or heavy rocks glass.
Garnish with 2-3 lemongrass sticks, bound and pounded to
release oils and a twist of lemon.
UME
Like the Ume plum itself, this cocktail balances and
enhances both the sweet and savory notes on Satori Soju.
Cardamom and plum liqueur draws out the sweet while
Cocchi Americano teases the savory.
INGREDIENTS (1 SERVING)
1.5 oz Satori Origins
1 oz Sake
.75 oz Cardamom
.25 oz Plum liqueur
1 oz Cocchi Americano
METHOD
Separately infuse 8 oz of Satori Origins with one cardamon seed for one day.
In a mixing tin, add two large cubes of ice, sake, Japanese fermented plum (ume)
liqueur, and Cocchi americano. Shake vigorously, then add Satori Origins (not infused),
and cardamom infused Satori Origins, then stir briefly. Strain into a chilled coupe
or martini glass. Garnish with a thinly sliced plum floater and/or lemon rind.
Refrigerate cardamom-infused Satori Origins for additional UME cocktails!
Hot Toddy
For a lighter take on a winter classic, combine
Satori Origins with a splash of Satori Lemongrass along
with lemon, honey, and Angostura bitters. Gather around
the fire for game night or curl up under a blanket for a
movie and sip yourself to sleep.
INGREDIENTS (1 SERVING)
2 oz Satori Origins
.5 oz Satori Lemongrass
.75 oz Fresh lemon juice
.5 oz Honey
2 dash Angostura bitters (optional)
