In the second part of The Tatler Bar's video series, two of the island's top bartenders showcase their creativity by concocting refreshing tipples using their chosen sake

That is why it makes sense that for part 2 of our Tatler Bar Challenge, we invited two talented bartenders to dream up a refreshing drink using this Japanese spirit. Here are the refreshing concoctions they came up with:
