With just a few days to go before the start of a new season of Max and HBO's hit series The White Lotus, Ketel One and Tanqueray Gin joined forces for a collaboration that shares series-inspired cocktails like 'The White Lotus Vesper Martini.'
The White Lotus Vesper Martini is prepared by adding Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray London Dry Gin in a cocktail shaker with French white wine aperitif, plus a bar spoon or a teaspoon of lychee liqueur and butterfly pea tea.
Together, Ketel One Vodka and Tanqueray gin are also giving adult fans the chance to win a trip to a luxury hotel in Thailand and attend watch parties with branded kits at bars in select markets for an immersive experience reminiscent of the show.
