What is James Bond gin cocktail?
There isn't a specific cocktail officially named "James Bond Gin Cocktail". However, there are a few strong contenders that could be considered as such:
1. The Vesper: This is the most iconic Bond drink, mentioned in Ian Fleming's novel *Casino Royale* (1953). It's a combination of:
* 3 measures gin
* 1 measure vodka
* 1/2 measure Lillet Blanc (a French aperitif wine)
* Shaken, not stirred, with ice, and strained into a chilled martini glass.
2. The Martini: While not explicitly stated in any Bond books or movies, the classic martini is a frequent companion of 007. The martini can be made with:
* Gin and dry vermouth, shaken or stirred, garnished with a lemon twist.
3. The "Bond Martini": This is a version of the martini often requested by Daniel Craig's Bond. It's made with:
* Tanqueray gin
* Martini Extra Dry vermouth
* Shaken with ice and served in a chilled martini glass.
Important Note: Bond often specifies "shaken, not stirred" for his drinks, which is a crucial part of his character. However, shaking a martini can dilute it more and create a cloudy texture.
So, while there is no single official "James Bond Gin Cocktail," the Vesper is the most widely recognized and directly linked to the character. Any gin martini, especially if shaken, can be considered a Bond-worthy drink.
