About the Recipe

This is the famous "Duke's Bar" Vesper martini recipe by the Maestro mixologist, Alessandro Palazzi who still makes them table side for you. London's Duke's bar is famous and is where Ian Fleming wrote his "James Bond" novels, and created the Vesper. Although this specific martini does not follow the book's recipe, it is still amazing. I never miss going to Duke's when I'm in London and seeing the Maestro.
