June 26-Vesper

Ian Fleming’s famous flagship cocktail, the Vesper is a brilliant martini variation. This cocktail has a split base of vodka and gin which is the main draw into it. It takes the benefits of both versions. You get the botanicals of the gin version and the dryness of the vodka. This is a very dry and boozy cocktail making it not for everyone, but it’s my personal favourite of any cocktail I’ve tried.

As stated before this cocktail was created by Ian Fleming, writer of James Bond, THis is actually the famous cocktail mentioned when he states, “Shaken not stirred” . This nis actually in my opinion the wrong way of doing this cocktail as you actually get the drink colder stirring and there isn’t any citrus juice to shake.
