VesperはIBAニューエラドリンクで、Ian FlemingがCasino Royaleのために作ったカクテルで、ジン、ウォッカ、Lillet Blancをシェイク——ステアではなく——して薄いレモンピールスライスを飾ります。「シェイクして、ステアじゃなく」という主張とともに、ジェームズ・ボンドのキャラクターと分かちがたく結びつき、史上最も有名な架空のカクテルの一つとなりました。実際には、ドライジンとウォッカをワインベースのLillet Blancと組み合わせたこのカクテルは、力強く、芳香があり、マティーニよりドライな特性を持ちます。
History & Origins
The Vesper was created by Ian Fleming in his 1953 novel Casino Royale, where James Bond orders it from a barman and names it after the fictional double agent Vesper Lynd. Fleming specified Gordon's Gin, vodka, and Kina Lillet (now replaced by Lillet Blanc, though Kina had a more bitter quinine character). The IBA recognized it in its New Era Drinks category. The drink sparked decades of debate about the 'shaken vs. stirred' Martini, with the cocktail community largely agreeing that stirring is technically superior.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Gin's juniper and botanicals dominate with a clean vodka backbone and Lillet Blanc's floral, wine, and honey character, finished with lemon peel citrus oil. Palate: Bold and spirit-forward with remarkable aromatic complexity — gin's botanicals are amplified by vodka's neutral strength, while Lillet Blanc adds a delicate, slightly sweet, wine-derived depth that prevents harshness. Finish: Dry, long, and complex with lingering juniper, lemon, and a gentle floral Lillet note.
Pro Tip
Shake with plenty of fine ice to achieve the maximum chill James Bond demanded, and use a sliver of lemon peel — not a twist — to express the oils without bitterness.
