Brasserie Max's Saketini – Cocktail Guide

For something a little unexpected, sample this refined martini-inspired drink. It’s light, aromatic and sippable, and pairs nicely with a few chunks of parmesan.

Japanese-Inspired Martini

Serves 1

30ml gin – opt for a crisp gin variety

15ml Lillet Blanc – a floral and citrus aperitif

15ml sake – select a smooth, medium-bodied variety

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.
