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 pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – choose a premium dry gin

15ml Lillet Blanc – a light, herbal fortified wine

15ml sake – select a smooth, medium-bodied variety

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.
