Drinks

Before the Vesper, there was the Americano; this is the first cocktail that James Bond ever orders. He does this at the bar of the Hermitage Hotel whilst he waits for Mathis and Vesper Lynd. When they arrive, Bond orders Mathis a Fine à l’eau and a Bacardi for Vesper.

While James Bond’s drink is popularly thought to be the vodka martini, a breakdown of the books shows that in fact he favours whisky more than any other drink, especially when it’s Bourbon.
