The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, try this elegant, martini-style cocktail. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Sake Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal

15ml Lillet Blanc – an aromatic French aperitif wine

15ml sake – select a smooth, medium-bodied variety

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a shaker, toss in plenty of ice cubes and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.

A sophisticated cocktail with Japanese flair
