That's a particular James Bond Martini called "the Vesper", invented and named by Bond himself.
'Shaken,,, not stirred", and of course served in a large, chilled Champaign glass.

"Preferably served with a Potato base Vodka" according to Bond.

Yes, I've had one. It's a huge ass drink that will knock you on your ass and it's not as dry like you'd get with a Vermouth Martini.

If you walk into the famous Tiki Ti Tiki Bar on Sunset (near Childrens Hospital), Mike the owner won't bat an eye and make you one if you order it.
$14. US.

Or at the super cool, 90 year old Musso and Franks Grill, the old buzzard bartenders know it well and they make it better - Damfino why: $12 US.

Kina Lillet is hard to find except in the more popular speciality Martini bars.

BTW:
You can order one at the Typhoon Lagoon bar at Disneyworld. $8 US.
