The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, try this elegant, martini-style cocktail. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Saketini

Yields one serving

30ml gin – a quality London dry gin is ideal

15ml Lillet Blanc – an aromatic French aperitif wine

15ml sake – a light, medium-bodied one, ideally

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. Filter into a pre-chilled martini glass and present.

A sophisticated cocktail with Japanese flair
