Watch Rico make a Vesper Martini – Luxury vs Budget!

We’re back! That’s right, it’s time for a brand-new episode of Absolut Drinks with Rico. And trust us, you’re not going to want to miss this one. 

In this latest episode, Rico takes things to new heights as he makes a classic Vesper Martini. But not just one Vesper Martini. No, no – Rico shows how to make two different Vesper Martini cocktails – a luxury version and a regular version. OH YEAH! 

But more on that in a moment…  

What is a Vesper Martini? 

The Vesper Martini is an elegant and timeless classic martini created by an author of a literary franchise about a suave British secret agent who enjoys drinking them. 

Where classic martinis are usually made with gin or vodka, the Vesper Martini includes both. Why choose one when you can have both, right? 

Crisp, cool and herbal, there’s the juniper notes of the gin, the smoothness of vodka, and the citrusy, floral, and subtly honeyed flavors of Lillet Blanc. Oh yes, the Vesper Martini is the epitome of elegance. 

Vesper Martini – shaken or stirred? 

Although the fictitious British secret agent insists that the Vesper Martini should be “shaken not stirred,” here, Rico shows you how to make a stirred Vesper Martini. And trust us, it’s incredible. 

That’s the thing about the Vesper, even though it’s elegant and complex, it’s a deceptively easy to make cocktail. No fancy home bartending tools required. 

Luxury vs budget – which does Rico prefer? 

OK, as we mentioned above that Rico makes two Vesper Martinis. Why, you ask? Well, Rico demonstrates how to make the perfect Vesper Martini suited to your budget.

That’s right, Rico showcases both a luxury Vesper Martini with super premium ingredients and a regular or budget version. 

But we’re not done yet! The suspense intensifies as Rico is blindfolded and asked to taste both drinks to see which one he prefers! Ah, that suspense! 

So, which does Rico prefer – the luxury Vesper or the regular Vesper? Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out!
