Vespar

...or what I call a Ralph Royal. James Bond, Casino Royale introduced us to a martini type drink he named the Vespar after his beautiful accounting cohort. He ordered it as one part gin, one part vodka, a splash of white Lillet and "fruit." Shaken, not stirred.

The Ralph Royal is a bit stronger than the JB version - two parts gin, one part vodka and 3 parts white Lillet. Shaken briskly, poured into a martini glass with a splash of cointreau drizzled on top. Add a swirl of lemon or orange peel and enjoy. Keep both hands and feet inside the ride... quite potent, but quite tasty.

I've added tomatinos to this one. However, several martini olives are also a nice addition.

Enjoy!
