So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

James Bond Martini

By Amy Lee


Alcohol is something that is being consumed on a regular basis by a lot of people. However it is very important to know when you have consumed too much and when to stop. Of course alcohol isn't only an inevitable part of our life, but has also become a very important part of the lives of our favorite fictional characters. And one of these characters is James Bond.

James Bond is a fictional hero and is one of the best agents of the British Secret Service. Of course as an agent he is very brave and has some interesting qualities. James Bond first appeared in a series of books written by the world-wide famous author Ian Fleming. Not a long time after the books, various movies about James Bond started to be created and thus James Bond became even more famous. And usually every fictional secret agent is refined and a gentlemen and James Bond isn't an exception.

But not many of you probably know that there are certain differences between the books and the movies. For instance in the book and movie named "Casino Royale", our hero James Bond, consumes absolutely different beverages. In the book he consumes a custom martini which turned out to be very good. And in this great article we will get you to know the James Bond martini.

Of course in order to prepare a James Bond Martini you will have to find some various ingredients and utensils. The things you will need are a cocktail strainer, cocktail shaker, shot glass, champagne goblet, a lemon and a lemon peeler.

The most needed things are the following: ice, water, Gordons Gin, Vodka (the brand doesn't matter, but it better be grain-based and not potato-based), Lillet Blanc and a dash of Angostura bitters so that you can replicate the exact taste of Kina Lillet. And the only other thing you will need is some patience and careful hands.

Start by filling the champagne glass with ice and water. Fill of the shaker with crushed cubes of ice. In the cocktail shaker, mix ounce of Lillet Blanc, one dash of the Angostura bitters, one ounce of vodka and of course 3 ounces of Gordons Gin. Close the shaker with the lid and shake it for a couple of seconds so that the mixture becomes icy. Next empty the ice and water of the champagne glass. Take the shaker and using the strainer empty the finished martini into the champagne goblet. The final step is adding a large thin peel of lemon. And by doing all this you have just made yourself a James Bond martini.

Of course don't expect to complete this recipe from the first try, because it may turn out to be rather hard to get all the ingredients, since the fact that Lillet Blanc is vermouth which is quite hard to find. However once you have found the ingredients, try a several times and you should be able to receive a proper beverage in the end.

And this is just about all we can say about the James Bond martini. A little bit of history, a little bit of facts and the entire recipe on how to create an amazing drink that can satisfy all kinds of tastes.
