According to Kyle Ford, a rep for Cointreau, he was introduced to the Cosmopolitan by co-worker Melissa Huffsmith. He put a fresh spin on the known South Beach and San Francisco versions. His mix used Absolut Citron, Cointreau, cranberry juice, and fresh lime juice. And the modern day Cosmo was born. Vesper Haku Vodka, Roku Gin, Mancino Sakura (18) James Bond's first Martini in Ian Fleming's famous spy novels, the Vesper, appeared in Casino Royale (1953). It was named after the female lead, Vesper Lynd, not the little motorbike. The Vesper was actually created by a friend of Fleming, but Fleming liked it so much he put it in Casino Royale, making history, both by giving Bond a signature cocktail and by drastically increasing the popularity of shaking cocktails that are better made stirred.

The name means “victory” in Morse Code. Daiquiri House Rum Blend, Lime, Sugar (17) The drink was supposedly invented by an American mining engineer, named Jennings Cox, who was in Cuba at the time of the Spanish-American War. It is also possible that William A. Chanler, a US congressman who purchased the Santiago iron mines in 1902, introduced the daiquiri to clubs in New York in that year. Dark & Moody Daiquiri Fernet Branca, Green Chartreuse, Lime (19) Chartreuse has been made by the Carthusian Monks since 1737. It is composed of distilled alcohol aged with 130 herbs, plants and flowers. It is one of the handful of liqueurs that continue to age and improve in the bottle. A Daiquri Of Carol's Demise Pineau des Charentes, Rhum JM, Banana, Lime (18) According to legend, during the harvest of 1589, a winemaker accidentally added grape must into a barrel that he believed was empty but in fact contained eau de vie.
