James Bond enjoys strong cocktails, and his taste preferences change in every film. However, vermouth is the basis of all the spirits' favorite spirits. Towards evening, he adds gin, vodka or whiskey to it, and it turns out a rather "brutal" drink, and during the working day Bond limits himself to vermouth with soda or gin and tonic.
Aperitif
A special agent on duty can afford to skip a light cocktail and continue the secret mission. His favorite aperitif is soda martini, and on rare occasions he substitutes whiskey for martini.
Ingredients:
Campari - 25 g
Martini Bianko - 25 g
soda - 25 g
ice - 2 cubes
lemon - 1 slice
Pour campari into a glass and add ice cubes. Then add martini and lemon wedge. Next, soda is poured to the edge of the glass.
Martini with vodka
For another, and perhaps the most beloved James Bond cocktail, you definitely need a shaker. The agent prefers to drink vodka with a martini, and in order to obtain the desired taste, he believes, the ingredients must be shaken, but not mixed. Do not mix is not supposed to just pour the ingredients into the glass. Due to the fact that vodka with martini and ice is vigorously shaken in a shaker, a homogeneous and rich taste is obtained.
According to James Bond's recipe, add three times less dry martini to one serving of vodka. The result is a not so strong cocktail with a slight sour taste.
Ingredients:
vodka - 60 g
Martini Extra Dry - 20 g
ice cubes - 2 pcs.
green olive - 2 pcs.
Pour vodka, martini into a shaker and add ice cubes. Shake the cocktail vigorously for half a minute. Dip two olives into a pre-chilled glass with wide rims and pour the prepared cocktail in a thin stream.
Vesper
This cocktail got its name in honor of one of Bond's lovers, whose name was Vesper Lind. The girl was also a special agent and loved strong drinks. In its preparation, you need to adhere to clear proportions: 3 servings of gin, 1 serving of vodka, and half a serving of vermouth. In this case, it is necessary to remember the prerequisite for proper preparation - shake, but not mix.
Ingredients:
vodka - 30 g
gin - 90 g
dry martini - 15 g
lemon - 1 pc.
ice - 3 pcs.
Pour vodka, gin and martini into a shaker, shake vigorously several times and pour into a glass with wide rims. The glass must be pre-cooled in the freezer. Add ice and thinly sliced lemon peel. It is worth noting that you can replace lemon peel with orange peel, or simply add a couple of slices of lemon or orange to the glass. It depends on the taste. However, a sine qua non is the correct proportions.
