In addition to the classic Vesper citrus tasting notes, Bar Continental’s Vesper cocktail features a new savory component – the infusion of Mirepoix Seasoning, a spice mix traditionally used in French cooking, alongside Cocchi Americano aperitif wine.

Additional Notes
Note from the bartender: In order to batch it for our bar program, we add an ounce of Seedlip Grove to our recipe for each cocktail to pre-dilute it and give it a bit more of a citrusy flavor note. This allows us to have the cocktail ready when we freezer mingle it. This step isn’t necessary if the cocktail isn’t batched.
*Mirepoix Cocchi Americano
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Mirepoix Seasoning
- 750 mL Cocchi Americano
Preparation
- Marinate the Mirepoix Seasoning in the Cocchi Americano aperitif wine for four hours.
- Strain it for use in the cocktail.
