Vesper (Cocktail)-Bar Ste-Angèle - Qubec City

9/13/2017

 
I first had this drink at Bar Ste-Angèle in Quebec City. I was tired of beer and asked the bartender what he would recommend for a gin drink. He suggested a Vesper. I had never heard of it and he said it was the original James Bond Martini. It is made with 3 oz Gin, 1 oz Vodka, and .5 oz Lillet. Garnish with a wide strip of lemon zest.  Add ice and stir (or shake like Bond) then strain into a glass. It will get the bull running, but did not taste boozy at all. Just use quality booze!

This bar was suggested to us by a bartender at another establishment when we said we wanted something local and low key. She nailed it. This place is OLD and seems to be part basement, part house. While we weren't there for Jazz night, it is know to attract great talent and a good crowd. Maybe next trip. 

Welcome to my blog!

I love to travel and experience new things, and I am lucky to have an amazing wife who loves it as much as me. I really enjoy the planning of a trip: the research, the finding the best deal, uncovering that local bar and restaurant that epitomizes the destination. I started my travel agency, at my wife's suggestion, to help people remove the stress out of seeing the world and escaping reality.

While discussing a most recent trip with my brother, Sean, he suggested  that I chronicle my experiences and share them with others that might be looking for places to visit, eat and drink.  This whole blog thing is new to me, so bear with me while I learn. I look at this as another journey and am excited you have decided to come with me.
