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)
