Made famous by James Bond in Ian Fleming’s book Casino Royale, the Vesper cocktail (aka the Vesper Martini) 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 all of the ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled glass, then garnish.
