The
Vesper

Classic Vodka Cocktail 40% ABV
The Vesper is a James Bond original, named after one of Bond’s love interests, Vesper Lynd. “I think I’ll call it a Vesper,” Bond says to Vesper. “Because of the bitter aftertaste?” she asks. “No, because once you’ve tasted it, that’s all you want to drink.” Pay tribute to Ian Fleming not only for 007 but also for this signature aperitif. This perfect mixture of gin, vodka and a French wine-based aperitif was invented by the author in 1953 for his fictional British secret agent in Casino Royale. And 007 is not the only one who prefers it served in a chilled Martini glass, garnished with lemon zest.

Preperation
Pour into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, stir well and strain into a cocktail glass; drop one dried lemon slice into the cocktail; to finish it off, spray with the atomizer.
