One of Bond s (and his author s) favorite cocktails. He drinks it in Fleming s novels Live and Let Die, Thunderball, and Diamonds Are Forever, and anticipates it in the short story 007 in New York. It s supposed to be about 6/7 London dry gin and 1/7 vermouth (possibly Italian, possibily Martini, but Bond drinks it also with American-made vermouth), with olives or a lemon twist (my personal suggestion).

There are three distinct oils found in commerce, the one, hand-pressed oil obtained from the Citrus Umetta (Italian), the others being the distilled and hand-pressed oils respectively from Citrus medioa var. aoida (West Indian). Expressed oil is prepared from the fruit in December and January. In the south-west of Italy the tree is known as limoncelh di Spagna.
