Reflections and poorly made glassware can make some fun effects
We’re excited to be joining Donna and Chad over at The Slow Roasted Italian for a weekly Ladies Night Cocktail party. If you haven’t checked out their blog, you’re missing out. Each week, we’ll be linking up new appetizers and cocktails and are inviting you to join in on the fun. (The recipe with the most links will be featured over at The Slow Roasted Italian and they’ll also feature their weekly favorite.)
Check out the rules below and please add your favorites. This week we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, but bring whatever you LOVE.
Anyhow, we’ll kick off the party with a Saketini. This is a really simple twist on the classic martini, and a great way to use up some leftover sake.
For those folks out there who do not like gin, then soak some cucumber slices in the vodka before mixing it. This will give it an herbal/floral flavor to mimic the gin. Or something like that.
Saketini
- 3 oz gin
- 1 oz sake
- squeeze of lemon juice
Pour all ingredients in a large cup filled with ice. Stir a few times, strain into a martini glass and serve with a cocktail onion or two.

We are elated to have you joining us for Ladies Night! It is going to be a fabulous party. Great cocktail. Leftover sake? Hmmm….. I think that may be an anomaly. Happy Valentine’s Day.
You too Donna!
For a second I thought the onions were mini Bocconcini cheese in the glass…now that would make an unusual cocktail, for sure. I’m not a huge gin lover, so I’ll just steel the onions out of your glass and sip on my vodka martini instead. Happy Valentine’s Day to you both Greg and Katherine.
If you haven’t already will you link up a lovely martini or appetizer or both?
Perhaps it is time.
Too cool, glad you’re joining Donna–what a fun idea. This drink sounds great. Happy valentine’s day!
If you haven’t linked up, would you? You have so many great apps and drinks. Moscow mules, lucky shakes…. wait we’ve made a few of yours!
Hope I did it right…. Happy Valentine’s Greg Rufus and Katherine!
Thanks, Sally. You did it right. Thanks for sharing. We’ll be doing this each week. Appetizers are welcome too!

Well the one (or is it ones?) you have is wonderful!
A virtual pub crawl. Gotta love it!
Have a great Valentine’s Day!

Saketini sounds very good
Have fun with cyber cocktail party.
Love this drink, and I love crashing ladies night! I added a few of my own apps to the link (hope I did it right). Parrrr-tay!
Love that Greg is participating in Ladies Night Cocktail party!
I’m in touch with my feminine side!
Immediately thought of the song; It’s ladies night! Excellent recipe and gathering!
Thanks, bring something chocolate! Pretty please.
You two are amazing! You really should publish and go further with your recipes, summaries, and photography!
I would purchase your editions!
Sincerely,
Judy
Thanks, Judy. We’re blushing!
Always late to the party.
Still I’m usually one of the last to go home…so that makes up for it right! I’m with Eva though – can’t take the gin so much. Mike could handle it though.
