Boozing With Bond

“The Vesper martini is interesting because it’s the only drink that became a standard classic, which everybody knows, with no bartender having invented it. The writer Ian Fleming invented it in the James Bond novel Casino Royale.

However, no one is capable of making the true original Vesper anymore, because it calls for Kina Lillet liqueur, and that’s been out of production for more than 20 years.”
