The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Recipe

To try something unique, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. It is delicate, fragrant and easy to sip, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Yields one serving

30ml gin – choose a premium dry gin

15ml Lillet Blanc – a light, herbal fortified wine

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

Measure 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.
