Smirnoff brand Vodka.
3 oz gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet® Blanc wine
Pour the gin, vodka and Lillet blanc into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.

James Bond originally drank Stolichnaya vodka. Mr. Bond requested the drink to be shaken for several reasons. One reason was to dispel the oily taste that came from 1960's Russian vodka's which were cheaply made with potato. Another reason was impatience. Chilling by stirring takes considerably longer than shaking. Bond later came up the "Vesper" which was named after his one and only love. The drink consists of 3 parts of Gordon's gin, 1 part of Stoly or Smirnoff and 1/2 part of Kina Lillet which is now just called "Lillet." A lemon peel is the traditional garnish. The concoction is shaken very cold. I have found that if you use crushed ice instead of whole ice, the drink becomes a bit smoother (dilated) and colder. Other tricks are chilling your vodka and Lillet. Chilling the martini glass is a must. I.E., the freezer or with ice. Some purists use ice from distilled water frozen away from fridge ordors.
Other martini tips. Always use vermouth soaked olives or onions with your martini. If you use the so called off the shelf maritini olive (Usually just a large Spanish olive stuffed with pimento), it has so much sodium that it will affect the taste of the drink. I think these water soaked olives / onions ruin the drink. There are other sweet cocktail onions that you can use as well. There's a reason Bond uses lemon peel in the Vesper instead of onion or olive and that's becuase the Lillet is cultivated from several types of oranges or citrus. Onion or olive would conflict with the Vesper.
I bet that you thought making a martini was easy? LOL! If you find a barkeep that can make a good martini, I will bet you the following. Your food and service will be outstanding. It's kind of a rule. Good bartenders work at good establishments.

What Does James Bond Drink

A vodka martini does not have gin, and is one of the easiest drinks to make. The traditional Bond martini is 4 parts Smirnoff vodka to 1 part dry vermouth. Add a twist of lemon. Now this is a very strong martini. I usually make mine 2 parts vodka to 1 part vermouth, and I also like my dirty, not with a twist. If you want it very traditional bond, go with it that way. But you can also experiment to make it to your taste. Just make sure do it shaken, not stirred (never known anyone to stir a martini... but anyway). And chill the glass before to help keep it cool longer.

James Bond's drink is based on martini , could be Bacardi Martini or another. Firstly put drink in to the shaker and shake with closed shaker. taste better with lemon, and it is good when martiny is cooled.
