VESPER (MARTINI)

spirit-only

Inspired by the Vesper ordered in Ian Fleming's Casino Royale, this strong martini-style cocktail combines gin, vodka and Vermouth Blanc, served ice-cold with a lemon twist. The historical formula used a different aromatized wine aperitif; this is a house adaptation with Vermouth Blanc.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Oz. (45 ml) Gin
  • 1 Oz. (30 ml) Vodka
  • 1/2 Oz. (15 ml) Vermouth Blanc

Method

    Add the gin, vodka and Vermouth Blanc into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds, until ice cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink, rub the twist along the rim of the glass and drop it into the cocktail.
