Virginia Willis, a French-trained chef (southern gal) has achieved perfection. Her recipe includes a “secret ingredient” made with Dijon, mayo, white pepper and a “little butter” that is garnished with chives and tarragon.

Can’t beat nibbling a deviled egg and sipping a Classic or Dirty Martini, French 75 or 76 or a Cosmopolitan.
