IBA NewEra

Vesper는 IBA 뉴 에라 음료로, 이안 플레밍이 소설 카지노 로얄을 위해 만든 칵테일로, 진, 보드카, Lillet Blanc을 셰이크하여 얇은 레몬 껍질 슬라이스로 장식합니다. '흔들어서, 젓지 말고'라는 주문과 함께 제임스 본드 캐릭터와 불가분하게 연결된 역사상 가장 유명한 가상 칵테일 중 하나가 되었습니다. 실제로 드라이 진과 보드카를 와인 기반 Lillet Blanc과 결합한 이 칵테일은 강력하고 향기로우며 마티니보다 드라이한 특성을 가집니다.

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.
