A Vesper Martini was first introduced in Ian Fleming's 1953 novel, Casino Royal, and is one of the few cocktails explicitly named and described by James Bond himself.
Combining gin, vodka and vermouth this beautiful martini is strong, complex and elegant - just like its namesake Vesper Lynd, the female lead in Casino Royale. We've given the original recipe a slight tweak by using our spirits, of course.
