Bond uses Gordan's Dry Gin

@romovid87 Agreed.
-
The drink was invented and named by fictional secret agent James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale. "A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet." "Oui, monsieur." "Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?" "Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea. —Ian Fleming, Casino Royale

@plitwit ACTUALLY IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT JAMES BOND YOU WOULD KNOW THAT FOR LIKE 30 YEARS THE BOND BRAND OF VODKA WAS SMIRNOFF YOU FUCKING IDIOT please think before you speak you jackass
-
@plitwit Actually, if you watch Tomorrow Never Dies, he's drinking shots of Smirnoff in his hotel room. :D
-
@plitwit The guy calls himself "Riki Tiki", what did you expect?
-
@plitwit the exact opposite, bond clearly drinks Smirnoff in several of the movies. In Dr No (the first bond film), Tommorow never dies, the world is not enough.
-
@Rigidyroofless it's VESPER - named after the girl in Vesper Lynd from the 1953 James Bond book "Casino Royale". Also it's IN the recipe to SHAKE it, again from the book. You never heard James Bond's catch phrase 'shaken, not stirred"? Also James Bond is a British creation. Lol, everything in your post is wrong.

Smirnoff is low-rent peasant vodka. James Bond would never drink that crap. Bond would use Jean Marc XO. By the way, your video looks like a low-budget porno.

This is not the correct recipe. Its
3oz. Gin (I use Beefeater instead of Gordon's)
1oz. Vodka (I use Belvedere or ABSOLUT)
0.5 oz. Lillet Blanc (I tend to add a little more that 1/2 an ounce)
Also, Your lemon twist looks sloppy. I use the side of a lemon zester to make a perfect long strip.
