🍸 What Ingredients Are Required to Craft a Saketini Cocktail?
This flavorsome libation comes together with just FOUR essential components, making it a breeze to prepare. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Chilled sake
- Gin (I personally adore using Bombay Sapphire for this recipe, and it also shines in cocktails like the Gin Fizz and my Perfect Gin and Tonic Recipe.)
- Dry vermouth
- A splash or two of lemon juice. If you have an affinity for zesty cocktails, don’t miss the opportunity to savor the Lemon Drop Martini or the invigorating Lemon Champagne Cocktail.
🔨 Crafting Your Saketini
Whipping up this four-ingredient gem is a walk in the park. Simply combine all the above-mentioned elements in a martini shaker, add ice, and give it a thorough shake. Subsequently, strain the mixture into a cocktail glass and garnish with a simple lemon twist. The Saketini is a personal favorite of mine, and I’m confident it will captivate your taste buds as well.
