Description

Velour Vesper takes a familiar cocktail structure and gives it a more distinctive point of view. The recipe combines Gin, Vodka liqueur, and Lillet modifier. Each ingredient has a clear job: the base provides structure, the modifiers build flavour, and careful chilling keeps the finish clean.

It is versatile enough for a cocktail night at home, dinner with friends or a round where you want something a little less predictable. Taste before serving and make small adjustments; balance is easier to preserve that way.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Gin
  • 20 ml Vodka liqueur
  • 10 ml Lillet modifier

Equipment needed

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink.

Instructions
