The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Recipe

For something a little unexpected, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – opt for a crisp gin variety

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, toss in plenty of ice cubes and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.
