Saketini

If you love good, chilled Japanese sake, you will love this Saketini recipe! It is the perfect cocktail to serve at your next happy hour. Plus, it has a fun name. Go ahead, say it out loud– Saketini! See?

This simple Saketini combines the famous Japanese alcohol, sake, with gin and vermouth from a classic martini. (Try this classic Dirty Martini Recipe) The result is a sophisticated, delicious cocktail that you’ll want to make time and time again.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE A SAKETINI COCKTAIL?

This flavorful cocktail only needs FOUR ingredients! It’s so easy to make! Here’s what you need:

• Chilled sake
• Gin (I love using Bombay Saphire for this recipe; it’s also fabulous in this Gin Fizz and my Perfect Gin and Tonic Recipe.)
• Dry vermouth
• Splash (or two) of lemon juice. If you love lemony cocktails, you must try this Lemon Drop Martini or this refreshing Lemon Champagne Cocktail.

HOW TO MAKE A SAKETINI

It’s so easy to toss together this four-ingredient cocktail recipe. Simply combine all the ingredients listed above in a martini shaker with ice. Give it a good shake and then strain into a cocktail glass and with a simple lemon twist. I love this Saketini and I know you will too!
