With it being National Martini Month, it seems only fitting that we toast one of the drink’s most famous onscreen versions. Author Ian Fleming provided character James Bond with a taste for Vesper Martinis—shaken, not stirred. Enjoy this take on a classic.

  • 3 oz. Vikre juniper gin
  • 1 oz. Vikre vodka

  • lemon peel, garnish
  • pineapple cube, garnish
