The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide
For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.
Japanese-Inspired Martini
Makes a single portion
30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal
15ml Lillet Blanc – an aromatic French aperitif wine
15ml sake – preferably a delicate, balanced sake
Measure the gin, Lillet Blanc and sake into a shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
