The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, 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 – select a smooth, medium-bodied variety

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a shaker, toss in plenty of ice cubes and mix for half a minute until cold. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
