The Covent Garden Hotel's Sake Martini – Recipe

For something a little unexpected, enjoy this sophisticated cocktail. This beverage is airy, scented and drinkable, and matches wonderfully with parmesan chunks.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

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, add a big handful of ice cubes and stir thoroughly for 30 seconds to cool. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.
