The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. It is delicate, fragrant and easy to sip, and pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.

Sake Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal

15ml Lillet Blanc – a floral and citrus aperitif

15ml sake – a light, medium-bodied one, ideally

Measure the gin, Lillet Blanc and sake into a shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and mix for half a minute until cold. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
