Rainier Cherry Sake Refesher

I have been wanting to create another sake cocktail but wanted to add a seasonal spin. This is the perfect summer sake cocktail with the addition of rainier cherries and Aperol. I traditionally have sushi or some type of Japanese food on Friday nights so I figured this would be the perfect addition to my Friday night meal or happy hour.

I am planning on inviting a few friends over and serving a pitcher of these cocktails along with some easy appetizers including edamame, seared tuna, and a sesame salad. I love making drinks that are easily enhanced. This drink takes your ordinary sake and enhances the flavor with summer infusions. Crank up your Friday night with the summer sake cocktail!
