In his first novel, author Ian Fleming, originating from the United Kingdom, writes of his protagonist, James Bond, suavely instructing a bartender to mix him a cocktail of gin, vodka and Kina Lillet. He names it The Vesper, after his love, the beautiful Vesper Lynd. This refreshed version blends Bombay Sapphire gin with Grey Goose – and in a maverick Bond-inspired move – an equal measure of new world Chardonnay. Shaken, not stirred, and shockingly delightful.
