Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Vesper or Vesper Martini is a cocktail that was originally made of gin, vodka, and Kina Lillet. The novel goes on with Bond telling the barman, after taking a long sip, Excellent ...but if you can get a vodka made with grain instead of potatoes, you will find it still better, and then adds in an aside, Mais n'enculons pas des mouches (English: But let's not bugger flies a vulgar French expression meaning Let's not split hairs ). Bond eventually calls it the Vesper, named after the novel's lead female character, Vesper Lynd. A Vesper differs from Bond's usual cocktail of choice, the martini, in that it uses both gin and vodka, Kina Lillet instead of the usual dry vermouth, and a lemon peel instead of an olive. Although there is a lot of discussion on the Vesper, it is only ordered once throughout Fleming's novels and by later books Bond is ordering regular vodka martinis, though he also drinks regular gin martinis.
