[QUOTE="evacguy, post: 40953, member: 5993"] Oh boy, now we are talking - I'm a big whisky fan, and I even don't mind some whiskey, but single malt whisky is my tipple of choice. But I also do like a vodka martini. I'm a bit of martini snob, most I've tried don't even come close to the worst I've had at Dukes, the home of the martini. It's the bar that Ian Fleming of James Bond fame used to frequent and is the home of the vesper martini. Legend has it that Fleming came up with the Vesper while experimenting at Dukes bar. This is a vesper being prepared by a trainee mixologist. The old boy that usually serves me when I'm lucky enough to get into Dukes was on vacation when I turned up last at the end of May this year.
