The Vesper Martini was made famous by James Bond because he actually invented the drink. That’s right, it was invented by a fictional character. I had completely forgotten about the classic cocktail until I was reminded by another World Traveling Spy, Andrew John Virtue Dobson. Thank you sir, Tuesday’s cocktail is dedicated to you. Drink up gentlemen but just don’t have too many – the inventor may have been fictional but the hangover will be real.
