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 pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.
Japanese-Inspired Martini
Yields one serving
30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal
15ml Lillet Blanc – a floral and citrus aperitif
15ml sake – preferably a delicate, balanced sake
Combine the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake in a cocktail shaker, toss in plenty of ice cubes and stir for 30 seconds to chill well. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
