The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. It is delicate, fragrant and easy to sip, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Yields one serving

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

Combine the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake in a cocktail shaker, toss in plenty of ice cubes and mix for half a minute until cold. Filter into a pre-chilled martini glass and present.

An elegant drink blending East and West
