Here we present some of our favourite James Bond-inspired cocktail recipes, which are either original creations or our adaptations of stunning drinks created by others, both classic and modern.

Casino Royale: the cocktail
We’ll be starting our upcoming #TimeToDonate charity watchalong/drinkalong of Casino Royale around 9am. But if we start with the signature drink of that story - Vesper Martinis - we'll be wiped out before lunchtime! This twist on a classic Champagne cocktail (made with English sparkling wine) will work for breakfast time - or any time.

Dr Christmas Jones
Appropriately for a drink honouring an American nuclear physicist, this is based on a Manhattan (Project) but with an after-Christmas dinner twist, with mint and chocolate. Plus, it looks a bit radioactive!
![Skyfall](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e8c3be36bab995ffb16a6e3/1672597889886-QZ474HAZQ2GU2EQIR1J5/Screenshot+2023-01-01+at+18.29.54.png)
Skyfall
Sometimes the old ways are best but old dogs can learn new tricks... so this is an Old Fashioned given a new twist.

No Time To Daiquiri
There's already a cocktail called a Paloma but it's tequila based. This rum-based concoction is more fitting for the Cuban character played by Ana de Armas.

Double or Nothing
Inspired by the forthcoming novel from Kim Sherwood, this new cocktail features two kinds of gin. Don’t blame me if you start seeing double.

A new cocktail for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Whether served in a glass or a hip flask, it’s delicious ma’am!

Vivienne Michel
A long Tom Collins with a Canadian twist, it's best drank while dreamily pining for a dark and handsome stranger to come along.

It’s strong, but you might learn to like it…

Madeleine's Ruin
“A man once came to our house to kill my father. He didn't know I was upstairs playing in my bedroom. Or that Papa kept a Beretta Nine-millimeter under the sink with the bleach.”
