Lillet Vesper

Lillet Vesper Martini

A cocktail that blends history, literature and the silver screen, the Lillet Vesper Martini traces its roots to the pages of cocktail lore and secret agents. The Vesper is said to have been created for Ian Fleming, the famous James Bond author who later included it in his first novel, Casino Royale, but it should be enjoyed by all. A perfect sip for those who appreciate the classics with a modern twist.
