Vesper
IBA0
James Bond's own creation from Casino Royale — gin, vodka, and Lillet Blanc, shaken until ice cold.
From Ian Fleming's Casino Royale (1953), where James Bond orders it and names it after Vesper Lynd. Fleming's dedication to his friend Ivar Bryce suggests Bryce mixed the first one. The original Kina Lillet was discontinued in 1986; Lillet Blanc or Cocchi Americano stand in. Read the story of the Vesper
