The Vesper Martini was created by Ian Fleming for James Bond in Casino Royale, first appearing in the 1950s. It quickly became one of the most recognisable modern cocktails thanks to that connection.
Combining gin, vodka, and Lillet, it is stronger and more aromatic than a traditional Martini. The mix of spirits gives it a distinctive edge. It is a drink that feels both precise and a little bit dramatic.
