About this drink

Ian Fleming wrote it into Casino Royale in 1953: James Bond dictates the recipe at the table — gin, vodka and Lillet, shaken until ice-cold, finished with a large thin slice of lemon peel — and names it after Vesper Lynd. The Kina Lillet of the novel no longer exists in that form.
