Thanks to John Carr (below) for the link to a great story! This is likely my favorite dry martini variant - I have Cocchi Americano Blanco and Lillet Blanco, and I prefer the Cocchi to the Lillet so I used that for the "vermouth". I also find the volume of the cocktail too much, so I scale it down. That said, when I'm in the mood for a dry martini - this is my favorite.

The most obvious move would be to lobby Lillet to reproduce the original Kina Lillet. I’m sure they would be swamped with interest once they understood the market potential amongst connoisseurs. . .

Agreed. I've already have lobbied Pernod for Kina Lillet to be revived.
