James Bond Martini

I love olives in a vodka martini, but the undertone of citrus in the Lillet requires a garnish of nothing more than lemon peel, or a thin slice of lemon.  To add olive and blue cheese to this drink is like adding lots of catsup to a potato truffle gratin.  Great separate, a mistake together.
