Fujilicious

I met a couple friends for sushi and cocktails at Ichigo Ichie in East Providence, R.I. last night and have to share a great cocktail I tried there.

This place hops even on a Wednesday night, so the atmosphere is fun, it's very clean with bamboo, stone and crystal decor. The sushi is decent, though it's no Sushi Samba. They have a good variety on the drink menu, including a Wasabi Martini that I have yet to try.

Last night I felt like something fruity but not too sweet, so I went with the Mt. Fuji cocktail.

There are lots of different recipes for a Mt. Fuji, many of them with Sake. This particular restaurant used these ingredients:


Vodka

Passion Fruit Rum

Pineapple and Grapefruit Juice

Splash of grenadine

It was refreshing and a bit sweet but not too sugary. If I wanted to cut out some of the sweetness, I'd only add a splash of the fruit juices with some club soda for fizz.

Either way, it's a perfect drink for a warm day (which we haven't experienced yet this spring, but I'm prepping).
