The Bond Martini aka the Vesper

photo credit: imaginativeuniversal.com

This drink has been coming up alot lately. A friend was telling me how her husband is obsessed with this boozy drink with a touch lillet- but couldn't remember what was in it. And then one afternoon at work my fellow tendress whips it out as a drink special.

The Bond is basically a Vesper martini. It originally was with kina lillet but that doesn't exist at present. So, a great take would be

  • 3 parts gin
  • 1 part vodka
  • a touch of lillet

1954 Casino Royale style.

You may also add a touch of bitters if you'd like. Garnish with a lemon twist.
