Instructions

Add the tea bag to the sake in a clean glass jar or a cocktail shaker and infuse for one to three hours.
Discard the tea bag and combine the vodka and green tea-infused sake in a cocktail shaker with ice. Stir until chilled, then strain into a coupe or martini glass and garnish with the cucumber.

Notes

The green tea can be infused into the sake for one to three hours, depending on your preference for the strength of the green tea flavor in your cocktail.
You can infuse more than one ounce for more green tea cocktails. Store the green tea-infused sake in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Tasters preferred the two to one ratio and vodka in this saketini over gin. Please feel free to vary these to your taste. If using gin, I would recommend a cucumber-infused gin like Hendrick's.
