Description

A cocktail of espionage, elegance, and just the right amount of alcohol. This unofficial and unauthorized literary guide dives into the drinks of Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels — from bone-dry martinis to vintage champagnes, stiff bourbons to exotic liqueurs. And it’s not just about Bond: you’ll discover what his lovers sipped, what his friends toasted with, and what his enemies used to impress. Whether it’s a pink gin in Jamaica, a bottle of Chianti on the Orient Express, or a quiet glass of bourbon before a dangerous mission, every drink tells a story — and this book tells them all. With direct quotations from the novels, literary context, cultural background, cocktail recipes, and a dash of humour, it is a tribute to Bond’s liquid world. Along the way, you’ll also find a list of real-world bars and restaurants where you can still order a drink like Bond — and imagine you’re waiting for your next assignment. For readers who like their drinks strong, and their literary guides even stronger.
