VESPER COCKTAIL
Invented by James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale, the vesper today uses Lillet Blanc since Kina Lillet is no longer made. The resulting cocktail is delicious and potent.

VESPER
The original recipe for the Vesper was created not by a bartender but by popular spy novelist Ian Fleming. In Fleming's 1953 book Casino Royale, Agent 007 instructs the bartender to prepare him a Martini with "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice cold, then add a large, thin slice of lemon." Bond named this drink after Vesper Lynd, his first love interest in the series. Kina Lillet vermouth, with its flavor notes of quinine, no longer exists, so we replaced it with Lillet Blanc and a dash of Angostura bitters. We opted for a blend of Charbay clear vodka and Plymouth Navy Strength gin to finish off our interpretation. This is the cocktail that introduced the phrase "shaken, not stirred," which changed Martini drinking forever. Thank you, Mr. Bond.

VESPER MARTINI
While most martinis are stirred, here we shake it up to open up the flavours. We've used a Bordeaux-blend vermouth, with aromas of fruit, honey and pines

- Holding a large (preferably 1") cube of ice in the palm of your hand, use the back of a stirring spoon to crack it into large pieces; place in a mixing glass. Repeat with enough ice to fill glass. Add gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc and, using a bar spoon, rapidly stir 50 times in a circular motion (the outside of the shaker will become very cold and frosty).
- Strain martini through a Hawthorne strainer (or a large slotted spoon) into a chilled coupe glass. Strain any excess cocktail into a sidecar (or a small glass in a bowl of ice) set over ice.
- Using a small knife, remove a 1" piece of peel from lemon; it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance (a little white pith is okay). Twist peel over drink to express oils, then rub around rim of glass. Float peel, yellow side up, in martini.
