40th or 50th Birthday Cocktail: The Vesper Martini


Bond's drink of choice in Casino Royale, and also the name of the film's heroine. But, this is no girly concoction...not even a Bond girl.

Ingredients

  • 3 Oz Gin
  • 1 Oz Vodka
  • 1 Teaspoon Lillet Blanc

Directions

  • Shake ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled champagne goblet and drop in a lemon peel.
While James said he never had more than one drink before dinner, he did like that one to be very large, very strong, very cold and very well made. So whether you and your guests are having one or 007, here's how to set up a self-service martini bar so they can concoct their own 'top secret' invention.
  • Set up a variety of self service bars with signature cockails to enhance the theme.
  • Set out recipe cards, so the amateur bartenders can get creative.
  • Simply group the bottles of ingredients, measuring tools, and a shaker for each drink.
  • Place plenty of fresh ice and tongs nearby.

 

Keep in mind:
1-750 ml Bottle of liquor = 25 1-oz servings
1-750 ml Bottle of Martini Gold = 4-6 servings
