Shaken Not Stirred

Martini’s enduring popularity may have sparked numerous versions over the years, but few are as iconic as James Bond’s creation – the Vesper Martini.

Invented by Ian Fleming and immortalized in his 1953 novel Casino Royale, Bond’s favorite aperitif was named in tribute to his love interest, double-agent Vesper Lynd, and is famed worldwide for coining the famous phrase ‘shaken, not stirred’. However you mix yours, this house favorite for you to try at home is guaranteed to serve up aces every time.
