Vesper Cocktail

Made famous by James Bond in Ian Fleming’s book Casino Royale, the Vesper cocktail combines a base of vodka and gin with a touch of Lillet to soften the edges. Of course, the drink was famously shaken, despite its spirit-forward formula, but it can certainly be stirred for those who so choose.

  • 1 oz. vodka
  • ½ oz. Lillet Blanc
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:cocktail
  • Garnish:lemon twist

Preparation

Shake the ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
