Follow in James Bond’s footsteps by recreating the spy’s very own cocktail creation – the Vesper Martini. Such a quintessential gentleman’s drink requires a glossy cocktail shaker (remember, shaken not stirred), the perfect martini glass and a mixologist’s flair.

Using a pick, chip off a few pieces from an ice block (use bigger chunks so as not to dilute the drink) or use three to four ice cubes. Add ice to the shaker.
