How to Make a Sake Bomb Cocktail

The Sake Bomb is a fun, but potent, drink that is usually served at sushi bars and Japanese restaurants. The Sake Bomb is essentially a shot of Sake dropped into a glass of beer. But the art is in the presentation. The way the Sake Bomb is set up, and the way the shot is dropped, is what makes the Sake Bomb a wildly popular drink. Here is how to make a Sake Bomb cocktail.

Things You'll Need

• Beer glass or mug
• Sake glass
• Chopsticks
• Beer
• Sake

Instructions

1. Fill a glass or mug with beer, and set it on the table in front of the person having the Sake Bomb. Do not fill the glass up to the rim. Remember that a full shot glass will be dropping into it, so you need to leave a small amount of empty space in the glass, unless you just like wiping up booze.

2. Place a pair of chopsticks across the top of the glass, pushed close together, so that they form sort of a bridge across the top of the glass. Do not push them all the way against each other. They should be close, but with a little space in between.

3. Pour a shot of Sake, and carefully balance the sake glass on top of the chop sticks, above the center of the glass of beer.

4. The person the drink was made for yells “Sake…Sake…Sake…Bomb!” Upon sake bomb, the person slams their fist on to the table, with the jolt causing the Sake to fall into the glass of beer, like a falling bomb.

Tips & Warnings

• Balancing the Sake on top of the chopsticks requires a steady hand and a bit of practice. Do not get discouraged if your bomb goes off prematurely the first few times.

• Sake Bombs are great fun for everyone to do at the same time.
