James Bond cocktail - favorite movie heroes

On the blue screens of James Bond you can often see with a glass of champagne or with a cocktail prepared on the basis of vodka with martini. The agent's manner of drinking alcohol is the subject of numerous cultural studies. Let's see what James Bond's favorite cocktail deserves special attention.

Martini plus vodka

It is this cocktail that was most memorable for the admirers of Bondiana thanks to the crown phrase: "Stir, but not shake up." To make a drink, just send a few ice slices to the shaker, adding 2/3 vodka and 1/3 vermouth. To achieve the desired effect, you need to shake the contents for 10 seconds. Pour the cocktail into a glass. A good ornament will serve as an olive on a skewer. A drink with a short straw is served.

Attention deserves an original taste of the cocktail, which can not be better combined with the brutal and at the same time elegant way of James Bond. Dry, sour notes of vermouth here harmoniously supplement strong vodka.

Why shake up James Bond's favorite cocktail? After all, you can simply mix the contents! There is a noticeable difference in these methods of preparation. So, whipped together with ice cocktail comes out more chilled and acquires a uniform, absolutely not sharp taste.

"Black Velvet"

This James Bond cocktail (martini with vodka) is not the only drink that is mentioned in the popular series of works about the invincible agent. The second cocktail, which is among the favorite drinks hero, is "Black Velvet".

For the first time the cocktail was described in the popular novel "Diamonds Forever" a century and a half ago. However, a wide popularity to the drink came relatively recently. As it turned out, "Black Velvet" is not only a James Bond cocktail, but also one of the favorite drinks of Japanese cuisine lovers, which is most often used in combination with seafood.

To prepare a cocktail, it is rational to use a capacious beer mug, where about 120 g of champagne is poured, after which an analogous amount of dark chilled beer like porter is extremely slowly poured.

Scotch and soda

Another James Bond cocktail - scotch with soda - in some literary works is used by a secret agent much more often than the same martini vodka. According to the original sources, Bond is of Irish origin, but does not demonstrate patriotism in the choice of drinks on the big screen. Therefore, to see the hero with a glass of Scotch with soda in the movies can be extremely rare.

Composition of the James Bond cocktail:

• About 60 ml of Scotch (Irish whiskey, bourbon, brandy, etc.) is poured into a high glass goblet;
• Added an arbitrary amount of soda - to taste;
• The cocktail is slowly blended until the ingredients come into contact.

Mojito

In several popular novels, another James Bond cocktail - Mojito - allowed the hero to cool down while traveling to hot countries. It is noteworthy that on the big screen the agent "refused" to appear with a cocktail until the 2000s.

To make a drink it's enough to put a bunch of crushed fresh mint into a tall glass, then add a few spoons of sugar or sugar syrup. The basis is taken chilled soda, which is poured almost to the top. Alcohol supplement to the drink, if desired, can be 50 ml of rum. A good piece of jewelry is a piece of lime.

Gin and tonic

As you know, Bond invariably follows the rule - not to drink more than one cocktail before dinner. However, deviation from this rule in the Bond was the unhurried consumption of low-alcohol drinks by the agent in large glasses.

Changed his principle of super-agent for numerous years only a few times. So, according to the plot of the novel "Doctor Nou", one evening Bond drinks four gin and tonic. And this can be found a logical explanation - a cocktail is one of the simplest and at the same time delicious drinks in the range of any bar.

To make a cocktail, mix 150 ml of tonic with 60 ml of gin, sending the ingredients to a high glass glass. Finally, mix the beverage carefully and decorate the contents with a small lime slice.
