The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For an elegant surprise, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. It is delicate, fragrant and easy to sip, and pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.

Saketini

Makes a single portion

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

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. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.

A sophisticated cocktail with Japanese flair
