Sake cocktail

Sake is a Japanese alcoholic beverage made with rice. In a cocktail, it serves as a moderating agent to reduce the percentage of alcohol by volume in the drink and provide flavour. Sake has become an increasingly popular in variations on traditional cocktails as a replacement for vermouth in upscale bars and restaurants in the United States. These variations are then given a new name that somehow incorporates 'sake' into the name of the original cocktail.
Cocktails containing sake
* Caipisake or Sakerinha - a Caipirinha made with sake instead of cachaça.
* Duncan MacLeod - Coca-Cola, mixed with equal parts of Scotch whisky and sake over crushed ice. Named after a fictional character from the Highlander series, where a actor (represented by the Coca-Cola) plays an immortal Scotsman (the Scotch whisky) with a Japanese blade (the sake).
* Nog-a-Sake - Three parts sake, one part eggnog. Of uncertain provenance, but referenced on by character Andy Bernard (played by Ed Helms). It was used on the episode as a pun on the Japanese city Nagasaki (displaying the character's ignorance, as he says "it doesn't seem to be catching on "), and one should not try to order this at a Japanese restaurant, as it will certainly cause great offense to any Japanese staff or customers.
* Gong - 3 parts sake and 1 part PAMA pomegranate flavoured liquor hit side of glass with spoon serve chilled.
* Sake Bomb
* Sake Screwdriver - Mix 2 fl oz of sake with 6 fl oz of orange juice. Pour into highball glass with 2 or 3 ice cubes.
