The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. It is delicate, fragrant and easy to sip, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Yields one serving

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

Combine the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake in a cocktail shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and stir for 30 seconds to chill well. Filter into a pre-chilled martini glass and present.

An elegant drink blending East and West
