- Peach and Plum Sake Sangria
Sangria is always a favorite sipper during the warm days of summer. But why limit yourself to using wine as a base for it?
Get a little creative and put an Asian spin on your sangria with these fun, inventive sangrias, cocktails and punches that utilize sake in many different forms. And fear not: they're not going to taste like straight up rubbing alcohol like that warm, cheap sake served at many sushi restaurants does (and hopefully won't bring back memories of your bad experiences with sake bombs).
