How to make:

SHAKE all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Lemon zest twist

Comment:

More a subtly fortified wine than a true “three and under the guest” Martini but delightfully so with sherry-like wine notes and faint botanical influences. Subtly refined. Despite the ‘Vesper’ name some will say that this should be stirred. Shake boldly on, but with good ice.
