Invented by James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale, the vesper today uses Lillet Blanc since Kina Lillet is no longer made. The resulting cocktail is delicious and potent.

Dry but smooth with a hell of a kick! Perfectly sophisticated flavor. This is a grown up cocktail. No sugary fruitiness here.;) Read More

About halfway through it I wimped out and added some 7-up to finish it off. Read More
