the "Vesper"

[Superman79]

So by chance did anyone catch/ know where to find the recipe for Bond's "vesper" drink??? I'd love to try one.

Here you go...

Contents...

6 Parts Gin
2 Parts Vodka
1 Part Lillet blanc
Lemon Twist

Mixing...

Pour contents into chilled Martini shaker (Tradition says to only use a stainless steel shaker but its not that important.), Shake gin, vodka and Lillet with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with lemon twist.

BTW... Shaking Vodka bruises it and kills the taste somewhat... People say its part of the charm of the drink. Still, try Stiring and not Shaking

^ Thanks Mentok. Normally I am a scotch man, but I had to give 007's drink a shot (no put intended)

Much obliged

You'll find recipes for drinks Bond consumes both in the novels and in the movies. Craig consumes 12 drinks in CR. A previously held by Connery in Goldfinger.
