Vesper Martini
Immortalised by James Bond is a cocktail with a rich blend of literary and mixology history. Named after the enigmatic Vesper Lynd, Bond's love interest, this martini artfully marries the classic martini components with a twist of citrus. Comprising vodka, and vermouth, it delivers a complex flavour profile. Finished with a lemon twist, the Vesper Martini is crisp, bold, and utterly delicious, offering a sensory journey that mirrors James Bond's own allure—sophisticated, mysterious, and timelessly iconic.
