The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

To try something unique, try this elegant, martini-style cocktail. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Sake 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

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. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.

A sophisticated cocktail with Japanese flair
