The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Recipe

For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and complements small pieces of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Yields one serving

30ml gin – choose a premium dry gin

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 mix for half a minute until cold. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.

An elegant drink blending East and West
