Make Yourself A Sake Margarita!
In honor of World Cocktail Week (May 8-13), Jon, The DC Traveler, has challenged the Travel & Culture Channel here at b5 media to come up with a humorous/satirical cocktail that stereotypes their city. But first, let me give you an idea for a twist on the traditional Margarita. Why not try a Sake (Japanese Rice Wine) Margarita? How to mix cocktails.com has recipes for almost every cocktail imaginable and was my source for the following recipe:
Sake Margarita
Salt
1.0 fl. oz. of Sake
1.0 fl. oz. of Orange Curacao
1.0 fl. oz. of Lime Juice
Ice
Mixing Procedure: Frost the rim of a martini glass with salt, combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with the ice, shake, strain into the martini glass, garnish with a Wedge of Lime.
This sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Why not impress your friends and try one this weekend?
Now for a little fun…
The Tokyo Tsunami
Take 2 salary-men and 1 boss who loves to drink and can force his subordinates to go out with him for a round or two after work. Combine with 1 izakaya (pub or bar) and a few rounds of the aforementioned sake. Then, after the izakaya has closed, let them loose on the streets and trains and you have a Tokyo Tsunami!
The Tokyo Tourist
Combine 1 American tourist, with a problem, who doesn’t speak Japanese, and 1 helpful Japanese person who doesn’t speak English. Shake well to see how slowly and loudly the tourist can speak, in English!

As a tequila man, I have to say that the sake margarita recipie should be burned and some ritual like an exorcism must be performed at the burning. Heresy, I tell you!
