Sake Martini

Makes a single portion

30ml gin – choose a premium dry gin

15ml Lillet Blanc – a floral and citrus aperitif

Combine the gin, Lillet Blanc, and sake in a cocktail shaker, add a big handful of ice cubes and stir for 30 seconds to chill well. Strain into a well-chilled martini glass and serve.
