Happy Hour


Went to Mike and Charisse's house for dinner last night. We started out with happy hour and the gorgeous weather allowed us to sit on their porch. Mike made a vodka martini for me. I believe he used Ketel One vodka and it was fantastic.

Quote - James Bond


"'I never have more than one drink before dinner, but I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. . . . This drink is my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name,' said James Bond."

From Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale (1953)

Bond ends up naming the drink "The Vesper" after the beautiful Russian double agent.
