Avid Bond readers will no doubt be aware that the latest in the series has been published, Carte Blanche written by Jeffery Deaver has the inclusion of a new cocktail.
At the looks of this, I don’t think the Carte Blanche cocktail is going to be as famous as The Vesper, but it’s worth a go.
Carte Blanche
Take one ‘Rock Glass’ and add:
- Double measure of Crown Royal Canadian Whisky
- Ice
- Half a Measure of triple Sec
- Two Dashes of Angostura Bitter
- Twist of Orange Peel
As to whether this should be stirred, shaken, or just left to its own devices is unknown. Give it a go and let us know what you think!
Be keen to know what you think of it.
I think we came to the correct conclusion when were speaking with Adam about it other night; swirl it a bit with the ice to mix it.
Shaking would make the drink quite different although a little swizzle stick might work.
You’re right though, it’s no Vesper…
Just tried it tonight, except with Bells Whiskey instead of Crown Royal. Absolutely one of my favorite cocktails straight away without a doubt. Stirred it with a straw quickly just to agitate it and you end up wit a winner!
