Vesper

makes 1 drink

A true Martini is made with gin and vermouth garnished with an olive or a twist. Since the Vesper has vodka as well as Lillet, it naturally follows that this superb cocktail is not a Martini.

This recipe comes from Rob Chirico's Hair of the Dog. For more of Rob's great cocktails, buy his Field Guide to Cocktails.
