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 – select a smooth, medium-bodied variety

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. Pour into a frosty martini glass and enjoy.
