📜 History

Ginger and sake share an affinity in Japanese cooking and drinking culture, where pickled ginger is a traditional palate cleanser alongside sake service. Western bartenders capitalized on this pairing in the mule-format craze of the 2010s, building sake and ginger beer highballs as a lower-ABV alternative to the Moscow Mule. Honey softens the heat of the ginger while lime provides brightness.
