1 oz (30 ml) gin
1 oz (30 ml) Campari
1 oz (30 ml) sweet vermouth
Orange peel, for garnish
Instructions:
Fill a mixing glass with ice. Add gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.

2 - Classic Vesper Martini
Ingredients:
3 oz (90 ml) gin
1 oz (30 ml) vodka
0.5 oz (15 ml) Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano for a closer approximation to the original Kina Lillet)
Instructions:
Add the gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well until thoroughly chilled (about 15 seconds).
Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with a thin slice of lemon peel.
Pro Tips:
Use a high-quality gin and vodka to enhance the drink's smoothness.
For a more traditional touch, Cocchi Americano (if available) will replicate the original ingredient's slight bitterness.
