Playlist: Martini Madness
Curated by Christopher A. • 6 years agoMusic for those lone nights under the gentle light of the moon.
Best indulged with a glass of Martini (or two) – an ideal time and place to experience James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s signature Martini called the “Vesper”.
At Dukes Bar in London, head bartender Alessandro Palazzi makes a special blend of the Vesper by using No. 3 London Dry Gin, Kina Lillet Vermouth, Angostura bitters and Potocki vodka. The latter in honor of the real-life inspiration for the Vesper – Polish-born Christine Granville – who was reportedly Fleming’s lover.

| 4 | dashes Angostura Bitters |

| 2 | shots Potachi Vodka |
