(James Bond's Casino Royale Drink)
1. Add the following over ice in a shaker:
-3 shots Citadel Gin
-1 shot Tito's Vodka
-1/2 shot Lillet Blanc
>NOTE: Brands matter here!
2. Shake until the ice crystallizes on top.
3. Strain into a champagne goblet.
4. Garnish with a twist of lemon peel.
"A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet."
"Oui, monsieur."
"Just a moment. 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?"

"Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter.
Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name."
