Try my choice, as originally concocted by Ian Fleming:

Three measures of Gordon’s Gin, one measure of any Russian (potato) vodka, one half measure of Lillet Blanc ( Kina Lillet is no longer produced ), or Cocchi Americano, shaken over cracked ice and topped with a large thinly sliced lemon peel.

In later years his protagonist suggests to a barman it would be slightly improved by substituting a rice based vodka. The birth of “THE VESPER“.

Vesper was our second runner up name to Cosima. I will use it for something someday!
