This summer, we went to a fancy sushi spot for my birthday, and I had the most delicious pineapple sake cocktail. I’ve been dying to create a similar drink ever since……so, last weekend we did some experimenting. The final product? A delicious pineapple saketini! Fruity without being too sweet, and perfect for using up the last of the sake you’ve got sitting around after sushi nights!
Pineapple Saketini:
Ingredients:
3 jiggers of cold sake
2 jiggers of vodka
2 1/2 cups of pineapple juice
1/4 cup of tonic water
cubed pineapple and papaya
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker and pour over ice. Garnish with cubed papaya and mango.
Serves two.
Enjoy!
This looks delicious! And I’m sure it is

That sounds so good!
I’ve never been a fan of Sake! But mixing it with vodka and pineapples might change my mind 😉
LOL – all I keep picturing with that title “Saketini” is Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon busting out in some crazy rendition of another History of Rap.. “Sock it to me!” haha – I”m such a dork! but, seriously I could probably use one of those right now the silly mood I’m in!!! LOL (You’ll have to drink one for me since I’m pregnant ;))
Ohh! That looks so delicious!
Um, YUM. This looks so refreshing!

First off your images are gorgeous! Secondly, this looks delicious. Although I am breastfeeding so I don’t drink, this is something I will have to make my hubby!
This looks so good. I wish my husband liked pineapple more! Guess that means more for me!

I happen to love pineapple cocktails. This one sounds delicious and so refreshing. Thank you for joining us at #purebloglove. We enjoy having you every week on Thursday night at 8PM through Sunday night. ~Cydnee
Thanks for sharing at the party. Pinned & shared. Hope to see you again this week!
This would make a wonderful summer cocktail. It looks super easy to make too. Thanks for sharing on the Small Victories Sunday link up.
Mmm. Another great refreshing cocktail. I truthfully never thought of having sake outside of my regular sushi place and especially not mixed with something else in it. How awesome. Definitely pinning this just in case we decide to try out a home sushi night. I think this would be awesome!! It’s Thursty Thursday if you want to stop by and link this up! It’s perfect, as always! Cheers! hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com
