Unlike a traditional martini cocktail, the vesper has a dual spirit base, creating a layered and pronounced character featuring floral, honey undertones – setting it apart from the usual gin cocktails. Made by careful stirring, the drink features clarity and smoothness, introducing aeration that makes the robust drink lighter.
15 ml London Dry Gin 30 ml vodka Ice cubes Lemon peel, for garnish
Stir the ingredients gently in an ice-filled mixing glass for 20 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Once brought to a desirable temperature, discard the ice using a fine mesh strainer, to pour into a serving glass.
For finishing touches, use a vegetable peeler or knife to slice a thin strip of lemon peel.
Using high quality gin and vodka elevates the flavour significantly, since these are core elements of the concoction. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
