Taste of Vesper
It mainly depends on the base alcohol – gin, which characterizes the juniper shade of the cocktail. But, due to white vermouth and vodka, the taste of Vesper turns into a real bomb, which only a brave person can master.
History of the Vesper Cocktail
The history of the Vesper cocktail is amazing. Perhaps this is the only cocktail that was invented by a non-professional bartender and which is not a folk drink.
Vesper is a cocktail invented by… James Bond! It is in Ian Fleming’s book “Casino Royale” (and after – and in its film adaptation) that Bond, in a dialogue with the bartender, asks him to mix a cocktail consisting of “three parts of Gordon, one part of vodka and half of Ken Lille”, shake well and add lots of ice.”
The name of the cocktail also belongs to Bond. Further in the story of the book, he meets Vesper Lind, and instead of gin and vodka he uses a martini. Thus, Fleming came up with not only a new cocktail, but also a name for it, as well as several variations.
Fans of the novel, and then the film, began to make this cocktail all over the world, and after that it became an indispensable section on the menu of any restaurant or bar. Variations of this cocktail continue to be invented to this day, experimenting both with different brands of gin and with attempts to replace it with other drinks.
