With just a few days to go before the start of a new season of [Max](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-max-cans) and HBO's hit series The White Lotus, Ketel One and [Tanqueray Gin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martini-kit) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-advisors) 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.
