The Covent Garden Hotel's Saketini – Cocktail Guide
For something a little unexpected, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. 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

Pour the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake into a shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and mix for half a minute until cold. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.
