Ingredients
Scale
Main Alcohol:
- 1 oz (30 ml) sake
- 4 oz (120 ml) beer (light lager or Japanese beer like Asahi or Sapporo)
Instructions
- Select a sturdy beer glass and fill it approximately halfway with chilled lager or pilsner, ensuring enough room for the sake shot.
- Take a clean shot glass and carefully pour premium sake into it, selecting a temperature that complements the beer’s flavor profile.
- Position two parallel chopsticks securely across the top rim of the beer glass, creating a stable bridge for the sake shot.
- Delicately place the sake-filled shot glass atop the chopsticks, maintaining perfect balance and ensuring it sits centered.
- Gather friends around and create anticipation by gently tapping the table’s surface, causing the shot glass to dramatically plunge into the waiting beer.
- Alternatively, apply slight pressure to the chopsticks, allowing them to separate and release the sake shot into the beer’s effervescent depths.
- Immediately consume the sake bomb while the beer is still fizzing and the sake remains crisp, embracing the dynamic blend of flavors.
- Practice responsible drinking, savor the moment, and enjoy this playful Japanese-inspired cocktail ritual with friends.
Notes
- Choose a sturdy beer glass to prevent accidental breaking when dropping the shot.
- Use high-quality sake and a crisp lager or light beer for the best flavor combination.
- Practice carefully balancing the shot glass on chopsticks to avoid messy spills or uneven drops.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace beer with sparkling apple cider and sake with a grape juice shot.
