Sake meant to be served hot would not play well with crushed ice, but in cold weather climates, a warm tiki drink could be gangbusters. Something to get you started: The Japanese have a method of flavoring sake by placing a cup of it on half of a grilling salmon head. The smoke from the cooking fish carries oils and flavors up and over the rim of the glass where it creates an aromatic layer that enhances and adds to the flavor of the sake. Form a tiki standpoint, the same process may work with citrus peels, lemongrass, or even coconut shells. The sterno burner from a Pupu would easily do the trick. Experiment and discover.
