Question about some sort of martini?!
Answers: in the movie casino royale, bond names a drink after his partner, vesper lynde. i was wondering is this a real drink, and if it is, whats in it? thanks!
Yes it is a real drink!
Vesper (direct quote from Bond himself):
"A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet."
"Oui, monsieur."
"Just a moment. 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 peel. Got it?"
"Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea.
"Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter.
Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name."
The Vesper Martini:
3 oz Gin (usually Gordon's Gin)
1 oz Vodka
0.5 oz Lillet Blanc
Lemon Twist
The Lillet Blanc/Kina Lillet may be hard to find at a bar or package store, so you can substitute it with any Dry Vermouth.
Remember to have a CHILLED martini glass, and shake the hell out of the drink to make it uber cold!!!
