This Raspberry Sweet Tea Sake Cocktail is perfect for a light midday drink.  Just enough sake to warm your soul, just enough cool raspberry tea to quench your thirst.

This smooth sippable tea cocktail is refreshing and light. The fruity notes from the raspberry pair beautifully with the tea and with just a splash of sake, it's a refreshing libation begging for spring weather!

What is Sake?

Sake is Japanese fermented rice wine. It is light and clear and is often served warm and by itself.

What to make with Sake?

Sake is mild and I love mixing it in fruit based cocktails. Try it in fruity spritzers, mules, or mild cocktails like mojitos or as an addition to white wine in your next sangria!
Almost any mild cocktail that calls for white wine or white liquor would be fun to try with sake.

What Can I Substitute for Sake?

You can find sake in most wine and spirits stores these days, but in some places, it can be hard to source.

Due to its smooth clean flavor, sake can be hard to replace in cocktails. For cooking, a simple swap of rice vinegar is perfect.
In cocktails though, I would replace or substitute the sake with a dry white wine or, in the case of this raspberry sake cocktail, vodka.
