his take on a vesper martini or white negroni is lighter and more aromatic than the traditional drink, making it an ideal aperitif, especially as the nights start to draw in. It’s a brilliant example of how even a few clever tweaks can evolve a classic cocktail into something completely new and interesting.
Serves 1
25ml vodka – we use Konik’s Tail
Light, aromatic and endlessly sippable: the classic vesper with a Japanese twist
An aromatic, sophisticated sharpener with – dare we say so early? – festive tones and a brilliant, bittersweet kick
A zesty, grown-up, after-dinner digestif that drifts into the arena of the rum old fashioned but in a fancy glass
A sophisticated sour flavoured with a dense and intense rhubarb cordial
A cosmopolitan, but perhaps at home with a pipe and slippers
A festively fizzy, rosy-red aperitif based on a rustic Italian strawberry liqueur
