The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired 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

Combine the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake in a cocktail shaker, include a generous scoop of ice and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
