Bohemian No. 7 The Vesper 40.0% 700ml

The VESPER is a James Bond original, as 007 names the cocktail after his great love: ‘I think I’ll call the cocktail “Vesper”.’ ‘Because of the bitter aftertaste?’ ‘No, once you’ve tasted it, you’ll never want anything else.’ So credit is due to Ian Fleming. On the one hand for the suave secret agent, but above all for the cocktail made from gin, vodka and a French wine aperitif, which the writer invented in 1953 for his spy thriller *Casino Royale*.

The perfect combination of sweet and tart flavours, which blend together in the interplay of gin and vodka, is best enjoyed ice-cold: preferably in a cocktail glass, flavoured and garnished with a twist of lemon. But be careful: ‘stirred, not shaken’.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Brilliantly clear.
Aroma: Full-bodied and intense, slightly fruity, with a juniper-led aroma, a light hint of citrus and geranium, notes of various dried herbs and a touch of grated nutmeg.
Taste: Delicately tart and full-bodied, rich in top notes of fresh lemon zest, floral notes of geranium, a subtle hint of rose petals and a spicy note reminiscent of olives.
Finish: A long-lasting, herbaceous finish, followed by a hint of almonds.
Overall: Fresh, fragrant and wonderfully robust.

Preparation

Pour into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes, stir well and strain into a cocktail glass. Add a garnish to the drink. To finish, lightly mist the cocktail with the aroma atomiser.
