Vesper

A twist on Dry Martini

Prep time:

Ian Fleming wrote it into Casino Royale with exact measures, and those measures still work. The one martini you are allowed to shake.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml London Dry gin
  • 20 ml vodka
  • 10 ml Lillet Blanc
  • A large lemon twist

Preparation

  1. Chill the coupe thoroughly, ideally in the freezer.
  2. Add the gin, vodka and Lillet to the shaker with plenty of ice.
  3. Shake hard for about ten seconds, until the tin frosts over.
  4. Fine-strain into the chilled coupe.
  5. Express the lemon twist over the surface and drop it in.
