VESPER MARTINI



Vesper martini image

While most martinis are stirred, here we shake it up to open up the flavours. We've used a Bordeaux-blend vermouth, with aromas of fruit, honey and pines

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

60ml gin (we used Gordon's)
20ml vodka (we used Black Cow)
10ml white vermouth (we used Lillet Blanc)
ice
1 strip of lemon zest

Steps:

  • Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shaker, add cubed ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
  • Double strain by using the regular strainer in your cocktail shaker and holding a fine mesh strainer over your glass. Pour through both strainers into a martini coupe glass.
  • Release the oils from the lemon by pinching the skin and spraying over the glass. Place within the glass.

VESPER



Vesper image

The original recipe for the Vesper was created not by a bartender but by popular spy novelist Ian Fleming. In Fleming's 1953 book Casino Royale, Agent 007 instructs the bartender to prepare him a Martini with "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice cold, then add a large, thin slice of lemon." Bond named this drink after Vesper Lynd, his first love interest in the series. Kina Lillet vermouth, with its flavor notes of quinine, no longer exists, so we replaced it with Lillet Blanc and a dash of Angostura bitters. We opted for a blend of Charbay clear vodka and Plymouth Navy Strength gin to finish off our interpretation. This is the cocktail that introduced the phrase "shaken, not stirred," which changed Martini drinking forever. Thank you, Mr. Bond.

Yield makes 1 drink

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ounces Charbay vodka
1 ounce Plymouth Navy Strength gin
3/4 ounce Lillet Blanc
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 lemon twist, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pour the vodka, gin, Lillet Blanc, and bitters into a mixing glass. Add large cold ice cubes and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
  • Dominant Flavors: clean citrus and light botanicals
  • Body: ice cold, mellow
  • Dryness: dry
  • Complexity: low with straightforward flavors
  • Accentuating or Contrasting Flavors: slight acidity and fruit from vermouth
  • Finish: short, mouth-cleansing with hint of orange
  • Glass: cocktail

THE VESPER



The Vesper image

Gin or vodka? The Vesper - which first appeared in Ian Fleming's novel ''Casino Royale'' - lets you have it both ways. Lillet stands in for its close cousin, dry vermouth. I normally stir rather than shake, but, in this case, I defer to James Bond.

  • Stir gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc in an ice-filled mixing glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Strain cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer or a slotted spoon into a martini glass.
  • Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from lemon (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard. Garnish with a lemon twist.
