My Bink’s Sake Recipe

This recipe for Bink’s Sake is my own, and hopefully, you will like it. As a fan of One Piece, I wanted to make a cocktail based on the classic song sung by Brook, “Bink’s Sake.” This song is sometimes translated as Bink’s Brew and is supposed to be standard brewed sake, not a mixed drink. But I thought it would be fun to make a mixed drink with sake as the base.

Bink’s Sake Song Lyrics (English)

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Gather up all of the crew.
It’s time to ship out Bink’s brew.
Sea wind blows.
To where? Who knows?
The waves will be our guide.

Over across the ocean’s tide.
Rays of sunshine far and wide,
Birds they sing,
of cheerful things,
in circles passing by.

Bid farewell to weaver’s town.
Say so long to port renowned.
Sing a song,
it won’t be long,
before we’re casting off.

Cross the gold and silver seas.
The salty spray puts us at ease.
Day and night,
to our delight,
The voyage never ends.

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Gather up all of the crew.
It’s time to ship out Bink’s brew.
Pirates we,
eternally
are challenging the sea.

With the waves to rest our heads,
Ship beneath us as our beds.
Hoisted high,
upon the mast,
our Jolly Roger flies.

Somewhere in the endless sky,
Stormy winds are blowin’ by.
Waves are dancing,
evening comes,
It’s time to sound the drums.

But steady men, and never fear.
Tomorrow’s skies are always clear.
So pound your feet,
and clap your hands,
till sunny days return.

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Gather up all of the crew.
It’s time to ship out Bink’s brew.
Wave good-bye,
but don’t you cry,
Our memories remain.

Our days are but a passing dream,
everlasting though they seem
‘neath the moon,
we’ll meet again,
the wind’s our lullaby.

Gather up all of the crew.
It’s time to ship out Bink’s brew.
Sing a song,
and play along,
For all the ocean’s wide.

After all is said and done,
You’ll end up a skeleton.
So spread your tale,
from dawn till dusk,
upon these foamy seas.

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,
