Mint meets pineapple, ginger and sake for a refreshing twist on your go-to summer cocktail.
4 lime wedges
2 1-in. pieces ripe pineapple
1 cm cube fresh ginger
8 mint leaves
1/4 cup Gekkeikan sake
soda water
Combine all ingredients except sake, soda and one piece of pineapple in a highball glass. Muddle until fruit is mashed. Add sake, then fill the glass with crushed ice. Top with soda. Garnish with pineapple and more mint. (This refreshing, thirst-quenching fusion gets shaken up by Montreal mixologist Lawrence Picard at Café des Éclusiers.)
