It’s safe to say that the level of alcohol in this martini is equivalent to a double of just about any other cocktail, so please keep that in mind when mixing one up. As always, drink responsibly and choose quality ingredients for your cocktails. The Vesper is not for the faint of heart, containing a whopping 4 ounces of liquor, plus a splash of Lillet Blanc (or Cocchi Americano, if you prefer). This now-classic cocktail is unique because it was invented not by a bartender, but by author Ian Fleming in his James Bond novel Casino Royale. The Vesper is a martini riff made with both gin and vodka, as well as an aromatized wine.
