History

The Vesper stepped out of the pages of “Casino Royale” straight into bar legend as James Bond’s signature creation. With its mix of gin, vodka, and aromatized wine, it’s sharper and more potent than a classic Martini. The name, borrowed from Vesper Lynd, ties the drink to themes of intrigue, loyalty, and betrayal, making it a cinematic, decisive order for anyone wanting their cocktail to make a statement.
