Smooth and perfectly balanced, this luxurious vodka martini with a cranberry kiss - if shaken, not stirred - should please even superspy-wannabes and thirsty travellers who can then discuss whether 'the world is not enough'.
Serves 6
Takes 5-10 to make, but freeze vodka for three hours beforehand
1. Put a bottle of vodka in the freezer for a few hours before making these cocktails.
2. Put chilled vodka, chilled cranberry juice and dry vermouth into a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake to mix.
3. Pour into cocktail glasses and decorate the rim of each glass with a pared strip of lime zest. To make the zest curl, use a canelle knife to pare the zest around the middle of the lime. Alternatively, just decorate each glass with a slice of lime.
