The History Of Kina Lillet
Kina Lillet was a drink that gained acceptance in the 1950s when James Bond came into being. The writer who introduced James Bond, Ian Fleming, concocted a drink for Bond called the Vesper. The drink contained Kina Lillet, which was an alcohol-based drink that was normally consumed as an aperitif and tonic containing wine, quinine and a blend of fruit liqueurs.
Ian Fleming had doubtless come across Kina Lillet while on one of his pre-war betting visits to Normandy, a drink had a sour taste from the including of quinine, that has the effects of a muscle relaxant and employed in the treating of malaria. Quinine is made of the bark of the South American cinchona tree or the kina kina, which accounts for the bitter taste.
Kina Lillet was first launched in 1895 and soon became popular in France. Over a period of time the eminence of the word "Kina" - indicating the presence of quinine - was gradually reduced in advertising and by the 1930s the name had been shortened simply to "Lillet". A final name change took place when a red variety was introduced - Lillet Rouge - when the first Kina Lillet was named Lillet Blanc.
The company that started making this drink in an area of France known as the Bordeaux area still makes it today. Nonetheless the company modified ownership 1st in 1985, when it was sold to a Bordeaux wine seller who modernised production and reformulated the product and more lately by Pernod-Ricard.
Today all true fans of 007 want to find the drink their hero consumes, the Vesper, and its resurrection has caused a rush of activity for fans trying to find Kina Lillet. Though not exactly the same drink as it was once - the quinine has been reduced - however minus the sour taste it has again regained recognition.
When hunting for the product favoured by 007, you may find it is a small hard to track down, but as it is not well loaded one of the simplest methods to get your hands on a bottle is to buy on the web.
Quantum of Solace, the latest James Bond film, has had the consequences of re-igniting requirement for the drink. If you can track it down pour 3 measures of Gordon's gin, one of vodka and 1/2 Kina Lillet, shake till ice cold and serve with a slice of lemon peel in a martini glass - settle down with a James Bond motion picture and see why your favorite secret agent likes Kina Lillet.
For more information on James Bond drinks and other 007 related info see The James Bond Dossier.
