Just saw Quantum of Solace this week, after a re-viewing of Casino Royale. Ahhhh, Daniel Craig - those impossibly white shirts (often stained in blood) under that perfectly fitted tuxedo, the sculpted, scarred body, those steely blue eyes - and that martini! Named after his dead girlfriend.... not exactly the way one might want to be remembered! The Vesper martini looks and sounds delicious - the recipe, as written in the original "Casino Royale by Ian Flemming reads:
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. Got it?"

Lillet is a French aperitif from Bordeaux that is available here in Ottawa at the LCBO.

Oooo!!! I finally tried Lillet! Had a wonderful meal at Cafe Cherrier in Montreal (a classic Parisian bistro) where it was served as an aperitif. Not too sweet - must locate a bottle....
