Asian Drinks
 

I'm looking for Asian Alcoholic drink recipes, preferably that use something particularly Asian, and won't be too expensive. Example:

Green Tea Tokyo

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 oz white rum
* 1 tbsp honey
* 5 sprigs of mint
* 2 tbsp sugar syrup
* 6 oz hot green tea

+5 for cheapness
+3 if it can be prepared in large quantities (for 10+ people)
+2 if it can be prepared ahead of time

Sakitini

3 oz Vodka
1/4 oz Saki
Cucumber slice

Add vodka and saki to a cocktail shaker, stir, strain into martini glass,
garnish with cucumber slice. This recipe yields 1 martini


As with any martini recipe, this can be made by the pitcher, adjusting the recipe for how many drinks you want to make at a time.

Mix chartreuse and sour mix on top of ice in a collins glass. Fill with coca-cola (or pepsi) and, if you like, garnish with a lemon or lime slice.

That's all of the recipes I've got in my trusty recipe journal for drinks with Asian ingredients/themes.... I don't get much call for any of these, except for the Sakitini briefly several years ago, so I'm not sure what they all taste like.

The Bush Gardens downtown in Portland has a wasabi bloody mary that's pretty damn good. Reminds me of sushi, so I guess thats asian.

the sake bomb.

2 oz. sapporo or other dry japanese beer
1 oz. hot sake

pour the sapporo into a cup and a sake into a small sake glass. drop the sake into the beer, shout "sake bomb!" and down that shit.

Horseradish in a bloody mary is quite good - gives it a nice kick... wasabi would even be kickier.... :)

I've gotta try this one... sounds delightful.

Awesome. Keepum comin :)
