The Vesper Martini is a bold and sophisticated cocktail, famously ordered by James Bond in Casino Royale. This elegant drink combines gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc, creating a smooth yet complex flavor profile with botanical depth and a crisp, slightly bitter finish.
I like to chill the gin and vodka in the freezer for a few hours before making the cocktail, as it enhances the flavor and creates a smoother, more refined drink.
