Saketini: How to Make This Simple Cocktail

I am a huge martini fan, but I do not think my usual gin martini pairs well with Asian inspired cooking. Ergo, I need a new cooking drink which happens to be this Saketini recipe. Like all of my cocktail recipes, it is super easy, requires few ingredients, and is really fool proof.

The subtle sweetness of sake melds effortlessly with the crisp, clean notes of vodka, creating a symphony of flavors that dance across the palate with each sip. It’s a refreshingly light and delicately balanced libation that enhances the flavors of any Asian dish, while still holding its own as a standalone cocktail masterpiece.

This Saketini pairs perfectly with Asian recipes to pair with dining or just enjoying a cocktail while you cook. See for yourself just how easy and delicious this cocktail recipe is.
