What I’m Drinking Now: Kyle Davis and the Weekend Lover
Kyle Davis is bar manager and cocktail curator at Brooklyn Kura, an American craft sake brewery and tap room in New York.
I’ve been loving the way ube (a purple yam native to Southeast Asia) and sake kasu (the leftover pressed rice from the sake making process) pair together, especially highlighted by Brooklyn Kura’s Kasutori shochu. I’ve been using Faccia Brutto’s Amaro Alpino for some aromatics and bitterness to balance out the fruitiness of the kasu, as well as some good-old-fashioned MSG to round out the flavor profile. It’s like an earthy, slightly funky, very purple Pina Colada.
