Vesper

What it tastes like

Served spirit-forward.

When to serve it

Serve as a slow, spirit-forward sipper rather than a session drink.

Common mistakes

• Shaking too briefly. Shake hard for around 10–12 seconds so the drink chills and dilutes properly.
• Serving in a warm glass. Chill the coupe or martini glass in the freezer first.

Variations to try

• Try a London Dry gin for a drier finish, or a contemporary gin for softer botanicals.
