James Bond Craze

I have never been a 007 fan until I saw Skyfall. After seeing it, I went to the store and bought the other two 007 movies with Daniel Craig and watched them right away. How did I ever miss this movie franchise? In Casino Royale, Bond came up with the drink and named it after the woman he fell in love with. I am probably the last person on earth to hear about the Vesper Martini. But now that I caught up with the movies, I have to concoct this drink on my own. Let's see if Bond's favorite drink lives up to my expectations!

Vesper Martini


James Bond's Vesper Martini 

3 measures Gordon's gin
1 measure vodka
1/2 measure Kina Lillet (Lillet blanc)
Shake it over ice and add a large thin slice of lemon peel




Broken-hearted and sleepless, James Bond had six of them on a flight! I don't recommend having that many drinks, he is a fictional character after all.
