Glassware

The typical glassware used for a California Vesper is a martini glass. A martini glass can have either a conical or inverted cone shape, and it has a stem at the bottom of the bowl so that you can easily hold your drink without warming it up with your hands. The large bowl allows all the ingredients to mix together properly and gives you plenty of room to garnish with olives or other decorations. This type of glass also ensures that all elements of this delicious cocktail are properly enjoyed!

Flavors Vodka and Gin

The vodka and gin are the primary ingredients of this cocktail, creating a bold starting point for the flavor profile. The vodka brings an aroma of wheat and grain that is light on the nose with a smooth taste that can be either sweet or dry depending on its quality. The gin adds an herbal complexity to the drink with its signature juniper notes.

The Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano adds a subtle citrusy sweetness that counters some of the bitter notes from both alcohols. Its fruity aromas blend together to create a bright bouquet along with floral undertones, while its taste balances tartness with sugariness.

Butterfly pea flower syrup lends a blue/purple hue to this refreshing drink.

Garnish

Adding in lemon peel as garnish ties all these flavors together by delivering zesty tones that bring out each one individually in addition to binding them into one cohesive whole. As you sip your beverage, take care not to swallow any part of the twist – it’s meant solely as an aromatic accent! </p
