Vesper

Remember Vesper Lynd from James Bond novel “Casino Royale”? This Cocktail gets its name from the same character. In the book, he calls for: “Three measures of Gordon’s; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?” Interesting name for a cocktail, isn’t it?

The humble Daiquiri is a constant favorite worldwide. It is also one of the most popular rum cocktails. This simple, classic recipe calls for white rum, simple syrup, and lime juice. However, there are countless variations across the globe involving other juices and sweeteners.
