The Covent Garden Hotel's Sake Martini – Recipe

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

Sake Martini

Makes a single portion

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, include a generous scoop of ice and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Filter into a pre-chilled martini glass and present.

An elegant drink blending East and West
