When thinking about his style, the Stinger is possibly the most un-Bond-like cocktail he drinks. This simple brandy drink is not only his favorite to share with Tiffany in the Diamonds are Forever novel, but in Thunderball , it is paired with coffee at the Nassau Casino bar while drinking with Felix Leiter.
As great a cocktail as the Stinger is, that touch of creme de menthe could be the reason it has not been seen in the films. It is, after all, not the manliest of drinks see Negroni reference below , nor is it the most popular, the sexiest or marketable. On the flip side of the book versus movie appearances, the Mojito is one of the very few to be on the big screen and not in writing.
This happens very late in the movies 's Die Another Day and is a possible reflection of the popularity of the cocktail at the time of production. It was a fitting choice for the Cuban setting as well. As is his usual style, uses this drink to introduce himself to the beauty of the story, in this case, Jinx. Oddly enough for a classic English series of novels with this much drinking, a favorite like the Black Velvet is only mentioned once. In the short and obscure story Risico quite a few drinks are mentioned, including the Negroni — with Gordon's Gin , of course.
At the same Excelsior Bar, Bond notes the odd use of the "feminine" Alexander as a secret signal by Kristatos. There are a few other one-time bond cocktails that make a solo appearance in 's repertoire including the Pink Gin , Mint Julep , Irish Coffee and Rum Collins. Most of the drink diversity occurs in the novels while the films stick with the few star cocktails that are sure to grab the attention of Bond fans.

I use Absolute and Bombay simply because it's always in the drinks' cabinet. Plus I like the extra spice you get with the Bombay, makes up for what the Lillet Blanc lacks.
Works a treat, for my tastes anyway. I tried the Vesper at a bar here in Las Vegas. The bar is called "Vesper Bar" in the Cosmopolitan. The Vesper is their signature drink. I'm not sure what exactly they mixed in it, but wow was it good. Very smooth with a sweetness and a lemon after taste.
Vesper martini is unquestionably the ultimate connoisseur's martini. Always use proof Vodka and at least 94 proof Gin. Serve well chilled. I just ordered a bottle of Lillet and I can't wait to try my first Vesper martini. Bottoms up! Great notes about a great drink! I just completed an illustration for this drink and posted it on my blog. It is the Vesper Grey a slight wist on the James Bond classic!
Please check it out! I enjoy this drink. However, I substitute the Gordon's for Bombay Sapphire. The drink must have either a splash of tonic or additional quinine powder; makes them interact better and bridges the favour from alcohol to the lemon zest finish.
Lillet really must be used You Should use Aperitivo Cocchi Americano It's the most credible alternative to the long discontinued Kina Lillet due to its high levels of cinchona, the fiercely bitter bark used to make quinine. Good Luck.

Car chases, gadgets, gorgeous women, over the top bad guys, and classic lines are all things that you would expect to see in a outing. No in No who says the catchphrase initially, in the debut EON productions title.
Sean Connery says it for the first time when ordering a drink in the third picture in the series, Goldfinger, in The famous drink that the iconic catchphrase refers to is, of course, the vodka martini. The components are usually around 3 fluid ounces of vodka, 1 fluid ounce of dry vermouth, ice cubes, and olives.
Interestingly, a study published in the US National Library of Medicine found that shaken martinis have superior health benefits. They were more effective at deactivating hydrogen peroxide than their stirred counterparts.
This helps to improve the antioxidant actions of the alcohol. No wonder Bond is always ready to take down the bad guys, even after a night on the drinks. Why not try making one yourself today? Alternatively, get down to the bar and order a few.
