HOW TO MAKE A VESPER MARTINI

• 100 ml London Dry Gin
• 50 ml Plain Vodka
• 15 ml Lillet Blanc
  
• Ice cubes

1. Chill the Glass:

• Place a martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the ingredients.

2. Combine the Ingredients:

• Add the London Dry Gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc to a cocktail shaker and add the ice cubes. 

3. Shakes Not Stirred:

• Shake the ingredients for about 15-20 seconds. This will aerate and cool the drink far better than stirring will. Just like the big man himself, have your Vesper Martini shaken not stirred.
• On a side note, for anyone who says you should stir a Vesper Martini; you're wrong.

4. Strain into the Glass:

• Discard the ice from the chilled martini glass.
• Double strain the mixture from the cocktail shaker into the glass.

5. Express the Lemon Peel:

• Hold a lemon peel over the drink and give it a twist to release its oils. Optionally, run the peel around the rim of the glass.

6. Garnish & Serve:

• Drop the lemon peel into the glass as a garnish.
• Your Vesper Martini is now ready to be enjoyed! Sip and savour the crisp and sophisticated flavours of this classic cocktail.
