 Fleming decided that Bond should resemble both the American singer Hoagy Carmichael and himself , and in the novel Lynd remarks that " Bond reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael , but there is something cold and ruthless . " According to Andrew Lycett , Fleming 's biographer , " within the first few pages ... [ Fleming ] had introduced most of Bond 's idiosyncrasies and trademarks " , which included his looks , his Bentley and his smoking and drinking habits . The full details of Bond 's martini were kept until chapter seven of the book and Bond eventually named it " The Vesper " , after Lynd . Bond 's order , to be served in a deep champagne goblet , was for " three measures of Gordon 's , one of vodka , half a measure of Kina Lillet . Shake it very well until it 's ice @-@ cold , then add a large thin slice of lemon peel . "
