Bloody Majestic

This eye-catching riff on a classic Bloody Mary swaps regular tomatoes for yellow tomatoes, giving this drink an unexpected but eye-catching bright golden-orange hue. It’s a lighter take on a traditional Bloody Mary, with a fragrant citrusy aroma and flavor from the bitters, an acidic edge from pineapple, and a pleasant bite from the sake while remaining tomato-forward.

A high-end sake like Kokuryu Ryu Daiginjo Gold Dragon is worth the spend to keep this brunch cocktail strong yet balanced. If you haven't been adding sake to your cocktails, it's never been a better time to try. "Possibly, as people search for unadulterated things to drink, it's a growing awareness that artisanal sake is as unadulterated as you can get," writes executive wine editor Ray Isle about the uptick in sake on American bar and restaurant menus. If you haven't enjoyed it before, Daiginjo is an ultra-premium style of sake because the rice is polished all the way down to 50% of the remaining grain.
