Once upon a time (way before this movie) it was a french aperitif, containing quinine, and it was sort of, kinda, not really made famous in Casino Royale. Nowadays it's called Lillet Blanc. The old recipe for Kina Lillet contained quinine, think tonic water. Now it's a somewhat sweet and citrus flavored. It makes me think of dry vermouth, except that it tastes good. We'll be reviewing all of the ingredients for the Vesper cocktail, with the exception of the non-descript vodka. So in other words, check back in later for a review of Gordon's Gin.Cost: $18
Grade: BLe Plus-Que-Parfait Manhattan
2 parts bourbon
1 part sweet vermouth
1 part lillet blanc
