Hi Sasha.. 

I like the site. Would you be interested in some Beefeater Gin recipes? As 
part of our Mixology Series we currently have the Vesper as our cocktail of 
the week!

The Vesper was created by James Bond author Ian Fleming and his friend Ivar 
Bryce. Fleming later popularised the drink when he gave it its public debut in 
his 1953 novel, Casino Royale. In the book, Bond himself invents it in a bar, 
subsequently naming it to commmemorate his strong feelings for Vesper Lynd - 
Bond's first romantic interest in the original novels.
