More from the Martini family.
Martini
Cold gin, a measure of dry vermouth, and nothing to interrupt them. Stirred until the glass sweats.
Negroni
Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Bitter, exact, finished in one stir.
Vesper
Gin and vodka, sharpened with Lillet and shaken hard. Fleming wrote it down in 1953; it drinks colder and brighter than a Martini.
