Vesper Martini

‘A Dry martini, Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet.

Shake very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large, thin slice of lemon peel.’

James Bond.

In 1953 Ian Flemming immortalised this martini in his Bond debut novel Casino Royale,

and named it after the double agent Vesper Lynd. 

To present a more rounded, but still potent martini, we have taken some liberties with the recipe.

Sorry James, but a martini must always be stirred, and never shaken!

Boatyard Gin, Mykolasch corn Vodka & Cocchi Americano stirred down and served with a twist.

Best served with

Nocellara olives.
