Happy World Sake Day!

Now that we’re in spooky season, expect some original spooky cocktails from me. With that being said, this next cocktail was inspired by one of the creepiest movies that I’ve ever watched, “The Grudge”. It’s more the sounds that the ghosts make in the movie, that creep me out. Who would’ve thought that a sound that I used to make a lot as a kid would be so creepy.

Also shout out to my wife. She gave me the idea and was the scare actor. Enjoy!

Recipe

• 4oz Lychee & nigori sake blend
• .5oz Blueberry infused Japanese gin @suntory_rokugin
