Makes 1 drink
This is the James Bond martini, named for Vesper Lynd, the doomed love interest in Casino Royale. "I never have more than one drink before dinner," said Bond. "But I do like that one to be very large and very strong and very cold and very well made."
- 3 ounces gin
- 1 ounce vodka
- 1/2 ounce blond Lillet
- Twist of lemon
Pour liquid ingredients into an ice-filled shaker. Shake, then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with the lemon twist.
