Ian Fleming wrote the Vesper Martini for Bond in 1953 with Kina Lillet — a gentian-forward aperitivo that hasn't existed in its original form for decades. Rinomato's Vesper No. 2 restores it: equal parts gin, vodka, and Americano Bianco. The gentian and the bitter orange come back. The Vesper drinks like it was supposed to.
