I’d be surprised if nobody did because the Cosmo and Mojito became extremely popular after their TV and big screen appearances. It will be interesting to see how many people order a Vesper Martini after the movie comes out. You see, Heineken made a big contribution to get their product into the movie, for the critical advertising spot. Bond was going to order a bottle of Heineken. At one point in time, it was thought that Mr. Bond will likely order a martini in his trademark way. I have not heard if the Vesper Martini will make an appearance in the theatre release of Casino Royale, but Mr. The lemon twist always goes nicely with a gin-based martini.

The vodka cuts back on the herbal notes of the gin. The Lillet adds more sweetness and tropical aromas (lychee) than dry vermouth. This Vesper Martini is very drinkable when cold.

Of course, this was back in the day before VCR’s and digital cable, so you watched it when it was on TV. So, if a 007 movie came on TV I usually had to sit and watch. When I was growing up, I never read any James Bond books, but my mother was an avid fan of Mr. So all my fellow bartenders, get you bottles of Lillet ready, I suspect someone is going to come to your bar and order one. The Vesper can hold its own in the cocktail world.
