The sake bomb or sake bomber is a beer cocktail made by pouring sake into a shot glass and dropping it into a glass of beer.
Two chopsticks are placed parallel on top of the glass of beer, and the shot glass is placed on top of them. [1] The drinker slams the table with their fists, causing the sake to fall into the beer. [1] [2] It should be drunk immediately. [1] [2] The drinker may count to three in Japanese, " ichi... ni... san...sake bomb!" [1] Or they may simply yell " Kanpai!" The sake bomb chant may also be said before drinking. The chant has one person say "sake" and others say "bomb", before consuming the drink. Usually done with cold sake [3]
A variation of the sake bomb is to "bomb" a shot of warm sake into a chilled Red Bull energy drink.[ citation needed]
