    • 1 oz (30 ml) sweet vermouth

    2. Stir until well-chilled (about 30 seconds).

    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:

    1. Add the gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.

    2. Shake well until thoroughly chilled (about 15 seconds).

    3. Strain into a chilled martini glass.

    4. 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.
