Description

A collection of recipes for the worlds suavest classic cocktails, inspired by the debonair persona and personal choicesof Mr 007 himself.

Everyone knows that James Bond prefers an alcoholic drink to a soft drink. In fact, he even goes as far as deriding tea as mud and blaming it for the collapse of the British Empire. Although its the legendary Vodka Martini that hes best known for, he also orders many classic cocktails, including an Old-Fashioned, an Americano and a Negroni, all of which appear in this book. Bond also effortlessly creates his own drink in Casino Royale: Three measures of Gordons, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until its ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it And so the Vesper was born, to the delight of bar owners across the globe. However, its not only cocktails that hes partial to. Bond orders Scotch and soda 21 times in the books, but hes also keen on bourbon and a brandy and ginger ale. So why not raise a glass and toast the health of the worlds most-loved, smooth-talking secret agent with one of his favourite drinks.
