The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Recipe

For something a little unexpected, try this elegant, martini-style cocktail. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, and complements small pieces of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – opt for a crisp gin variety

15ml Lillet Blanc – a floral and citrus aperitif

15ml sake – preferably a delicate, balanced sake

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a 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.

An elegant drink blending East and West
