Drink brands in Casino Royale
The
drink that everyone is currently talking about is the Vesper,
which James Bond names after the heroine and one essential ingredient is
Kina Lillet, which we've talked
about elsewhere.
However, the drink also contains gin and vodka, as well as that slice of lemon peel - Bond specifies Gordon's gin, and while Smirnoff isn't specifically mentioned, the company is an official sponsor of the film.
In fact Stolichnaya is a better vodka, and although Absolut is also excellent, perhaps you should save it to drink neat and ice cold. Also appearing in the film are Château Angélus from Burgandy, Bollinger Grand Année and Heineken lager - the latter two have 007 promotions to tie in with the launch of Casino Royale.
