How to Make a James Bond's 'Vesper' Martini | Condé Nast Traveler

The vesper martini at London's Dukes Hotel served as the inspiration for James Bond's cocktail of choice. Bar manager Alessandro Palazzi walks us through the recipe for the classic Vesper Martini. Transcript My name is Alessandro Palazzi. We are here at Dukes London. We're going to demonstrate how we recreate the classic Vesper, in honor of Mr. Ian Fleming, the author of James Bond. So what we got here is a frozen glass. I'm going to add a few drop of Angostura Bitters. In the first novel, when he wrote the recipe, he asked the bartender to make a martini, one part of vodka and three part of gin. Vesper, at the end of the book, revealed to be a double agent. And that's why we add a vodka and gin. Then I top that with Amber Vermouth, which we create just for Dukes. Here I put half-measure and then the vodka. In this case I use a Polish vodka, because the spy, originally she was from Poland. The glass, the vodka, the gin, we keep in the freezer. And then I top that with No. Gin. Only got six ingredients, so the junipers very evident. Then I finish with an organic orange. I squeeze the oil on top. When you freeze alcohol, the viscosity allow the oil to float on top. So, first thing come to your nose, a beautiful smell of orange. This is the Dukes homage to Mr. Fleming's Vesper martini. Perfect.
