Vesper Cocktail
-----------------------------------------------
makes 1 cocktail

3 oz London dry gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet or Cocchi Aperitivo Americano  
lemon zest for garnish


Place all the ingredients into a cocktail pitcher with ice. Stir well until chilled, for about 20 seconds, strain into chilled cocktail glass or place all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake for about 10 seconds, this will make the cocktail more bubbly and cloudy. Squeeze the lemon zest over the drink and use as a garnish, if you wish.
