About the Recipe
Probably my most favorite martini. This is the actual recipe from the Ian Fleming novel called a "Vesper Martini". In the book the recipe calls for Gordon gin, and potato vodka, and aperitif that is no longer produced but "Lillet Blanc" is the closest replacement. I prefer the botanicals that Bombay Sapphire provide but any gin will work but just don't go cheap here as this is a gin forward martini. When done correctly, it should be very smooth. Shaken and not stirred!

Ingredients
3 oz Bombay Gin
1 oz Vodka
¾ oz Lillet Blanc
Preparation
Step 1
Shaken, not stirred (naturally!)
Step 2
Double strain.
Step 3
Garnish with a lemon peel.
