VESPER MARTINI by Myatt’s Fields | Small-Batch Cocktail 500ml | Gin, Vodka & Aromatised Wine Blend | Ready to Serve | 38% ABV

Updated Review:I previously had a bad experience with this as the mixture didn't seem quite right and it burned like mad. Having had this before hand and loving it, i was disappointed with that experience.However, they have since sent out another bottle free of charge woth a letter saying they were dismayed to read that review and it's clear that the quality of the product is extremely important to them.I have indulged in the latest bottle and it was as fantastic as I initially remembered, with no burning sensation and the mixture is perfect, as it was when I initially bought the bottle from them. It was only the second bottle out of the 3 I've ever had that wasn't right.I really appreciated them writing and sending another bottle to try, it's clear they are very passionate about the quality and I guess the se ond bottle i ordered must have slipped through the net somehow, which is something that does happen occasionally, irrespective of how careful you are.Fantastic flavour again, smooth, nice coffee taste and overall was perfect. I can't fault the product or the customer service following on from having the latest bottle. It's obviously just one of those things, and I can fully appreciate that.Would definitely recommend 👌👍.

Cocktails are usually terribly suited to premixing - the ingredients should be combined and shaken fresh and there often is no substitute. The negroni however, is perfectly suited to pre-bottling. In fact there are many cocktail bars where their house negroni is a pre-bottled version. This comes down to the simplicity of the cocktail - gin, campari and sweet vermouth.The combination should always be 2 parts gin, 1 part vermouth, 1 part campari which should keep the percentage comfortably in the 20-30% range; this one is 27.6% which is an initially good sign. The cocktail itself is delicious. The only thing I would not is even though it says chill and serve - serve over ice and lots of it. This cocktail is meant to be icier than a winters morning. There is something very festive about this drink. One bottle will do around 5 good sized cocktails - so £5 a pop. The value is not as good as buying the ingredients yourself, but the premium is not extreme for the convenience.Serve with a twist of orange if you're really fancy.

I have been frustrated for years by my inability to make a decent espresso martini at home. This is certainly a decent espresso martini. All you have to do is shake it with ice for thirty seconds. It looks terrific, with a credible crema, which is key for a good espresso martini. It was a little too sweet for my taste, so I would not like to have more than one. We use quite large Waterford martini glasses, and I reckon I would only get four martinis from a half litre bottle. At £25 a bottle, that works out at £6.25 per glass, which is cheap compared to bar prices, but maybe a little expensive for home. Definitely worth having in your drinks cabinet for special occasions.

Excellent product.

Had a lovely evening making expresso martini's with my pal,really lovely drink v smooth and yummy cld of drunk the bottle!

After buying other negroni brands and being dissapointed, i bought this one as treat, it was a good choice. Flavour is perfectely balance, and strong as it should be. Lovely bottle as well.

I cant comment on how this tastes as I bought it for my husband as a gift....the fact he hid it away so I couldn't even get a sniff makes me believe it is very very good. He did tell me it was a delicious as the ones made fresh on our holiday where he first tried negroni! One happy husband

A tasty cocktail but at almost twice the price of another negroni on Amazon, not worth it.
