Cellar/Tasting Notes
Lillet, the real James Bond Vesper martini, as seen in the James Bond films! Lillet Blanc is similar to sauternes. Its color is a golden, shining yellow. It’s flowery with a hint of honey with aromas of candied orange, pine resin, lime and fresh mint. Its taste is fresh, bold and fruity with an appealing aroma intensity and lingering aftertaste. Its a tasty start to your evening.
The 007 Vesper Martini
3 oz London Dry gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet Blanc
2 dashes angostura bitters
Wine Enthusiast (WE): 93 "A light, breezy apéritif for white wine lovers. This golden-orange liquid has a tart apple and citrus scent, with a touch of honeysuckle behind that, and a honeyed flavor with a dry, faintly spiced finish. Light-bodied and drinkable, made even more so with the addition of lime juice and club soda. Pair with cheese or charcuterie" |
