Vesper Martini
The Vesper, aka. James Bond Martini is a delicious coming together of two of the Nolet Distillery's spirits. We recommend a stir, but out of respect for Bond, it's understood that this may be "shaken not stirred" for effect.

Stir NOLET’S Silver with ice in a cocktail glass. Strain into a Martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
