This recipe is actually incorrect. At the time that Flemming invented this drink, Gordon's was a very different gin; now you're better off using something like Hendrick's, Magellan, Stingray, or even Tanqueray (all of which are the traditional 94 proof). Vodka was the same way; almost all vodkas at the time were 100 proof so use something like Stoli 100 proof for the best result. Finally, Lillet Blanc replaced the Kina Lillet in the mid eighties. You know have to add the "kina" part yourself by mixing in either 1/8 tsp of quinine or (in a pinch) a dash of bitters.
