Method
Sake Martini Base
Chill glass
Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.
Add 0.5 oz dry vermouth and 0.25 oz fresh lime juice to brighten the mix.
Fruit Flavorings (choose one or combine)
Decide which fruit profile you want: lychee, peach, or mango. Use one 0.5 oz flavoring for a single-flavor martini, or layer up to two for a blended profile (for example 0.5 oz lychee + 0.25 oz peach).
If using fresh fruit (peach or mango), lightly purée until smooth. If using canned or bottled purée/juice, strain through a fine mesh to remove fibers. Add the measured purée or syrup to the shaker.
Optional Sweetener & Texture
If you prefer a slightly sweeter martini, add 0.25 oz simple syrup. For a silky mouthfeel, add 0.5 egg white (or 1/2 a small egg white).
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If using egg white, perform a dry shake: seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15 seconds to emulsify.
Mixing & Serving
Add 6 pieces of ice to the shaker (unless you only dry-shaked). Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy (longer if egg white was used).
Discard ice or water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into the chilled martini or coupe glass using a fine strainer to catch any fruit solids or ice shards.
If you prepared multiple fruit variants, repeat the mixing steps separately for each to create a flight or layered pours.
