Method

Cocktail Preparation

1

Chill glass

Place a chilled coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the glass is cold.

2

Combine spirits

Add 2 oz Tito's vodka, 1 oz Prairie organic gin, and 1/2 oz Lillet Blanc to a mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled about two-thirds with large ice cubes.

3

Stir (preferred) or shake

Stir the mixture briskly with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted (about 15–20% dilution). If you prefer a slightly more aerated, colder Vesper, shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds and then strain.

4

Strain

Discard the ice or water from the chilled serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the chilled coupe/martini glass using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards.

5

Garnish

Express the oils from the lemon peel over the surface of the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze. Run the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink or lay it on the rim as a garnish.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while very cold. Optionally provide a small spoon or coupe napkin; this cocktail is enjoyed sipped slowly.
