Today I'm revisiting a drink I've looked at on the channel before, the Vesper Martini. Named for Jame's Bond's love interest in his debut novel, Casino Royale, this drink has loomed large amongst Bond fans for years and, but I wanted to know: is it any good? Because this is a drink that Bond threw together on the fly to sort of impress the room, and it's a weird drink. Somewhere between a Dry Martini and a Gin and Tonic but with Vodka for some reason no one can explain, this is a confused drink. It's complicated by the fact that the key ingredient, Kina Lillet, no longer exists. There are two very good substitutes available though, and so today I explore them, and the shaking vs. stirring question, in a four way drink showdown I call: The Drink Matrix.

In Shaker or in Mixing Glass
.25 oz. -or- 8 ml. Cocchi Americano -or- Kina L'Aero D'Or
.5 oz. -or- 15 ml. Vodka
1.5 oz. -or- 45 ml. London Dry Gin
Shake or stir
Strain in to glass
