Haha there are different gordons out there Bond took the very strong gin which i recomend it has 47.3 percent plus id use a stronger vodka with 50 percent alcohol! Absolut in Black bottle is pretty much availabel anywhere plus even though bond wanted it shaken id still stir it!
Question 4 u, tho, if yr willing (no disrespect intended; height of rude 2 question how any pro does their job).
But I wonder what yr take is on Tanqueray vs Bombay's Sapphire?
This side of the pond (mostly Boston & NY), every single time I've put people up 2 a blind taste-test, Sapphire v Tanq, Sapphire wins... usually by huge margins, often unanimous.
Maybe the export versions ≠ yr own?
Or maybe we're just colonial upstarts w/ provincial tastes?
@smartalek1 Hi :-) I have to agree I personally also prefer the taste of Bombay Sapphire. The Tanqueray in the Vesper give more of the original taste of the Vesper as it was made but on a personal opinion if I was to choose a Gin to drink I would also most times go for Bombay Sapphire. I'm also a big fan of Hendricks gin which I find great as a Martini with a slice of Cucumber.
you can't get kina lillet anymore. so unless someone has an old bottle and you pay out the ass for it. you will never have a true vesper...which is very unfortunate.
No it isn't the same product, kina lillet have kinine and lillet blanc don't have it because that you can use some drop of angostura to obtain the similar bitter flavor of kinine.
am i the only one who noticed that the martini glass stem is bent?

2 drops of angostura bitter + rimming the glass with lemon will improve its taste i guess

why shake it, if u strain it?!
deadeyecrash 2 years ago
You shake it to chill it. You strain it to make sure you don't get any small bits of ice in the drink.

Yeah, shaking ensures it gets colder quicker...and then strain to not allow the ice to pass through.

it's the same product - renamed.
nice vid, although personally it breaks my heart to see any martini shaken.

No it isn't the same product, kina lillet have kinine and lillet blanc don't have it because that you can use some drop of angostura to obtain the similar bitter flavor of kinine.

its very odd to find the Kina lillet or the Lillet blanc, isn´t it ?
MAUchinchilla 2 years ago
MAU, el kina lillet dejo de hacerse hace muchos años, en el 80 o fines de los 70's. El lillet blanc si se puede conseguir en alguna buena licoreria.
