Errrr... just a drink. A Vodka martini, twist of lemon, shaken, not stirred.
For those who want to try the original James Bond martini, here's the recipe:
The Original James Bond Martini
(Also known as ‘The Vesper’ – from Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, 1953)
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. gin (Gordon’s Gin preferred)
- 1 oz. vodka (Smirnoff Vodka preferred)
- 1/2 oz. Lillet (white) (Lillet is a light, medium dry French aperitif (red or white) made with herbs, spices and fruits fortified with French brandy, and a Bordeaux wine base. The original specified ‘Kina Lillet’ which by its name contains bitters and is probably not sold in the U.S.)
Mixing Instructions:
Shake with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass (the original was served in a deep champagne goblet). Garnish with a lemon twist.
