The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, try this elegant, martini-style cocktail. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and complements small pieces of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal

15ml Lillet Blanc – an aromatic French aperitif wine

15ml sake – preferably a delicate, balanced sake

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a shaker, toss in plenty of ice cubes and stir for 30 seconds to chill well. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
