Design your ideal cocktail and we'll tell you which James Bond you are!
May 12, 2020
While it’s difficult to picture James Bond with anything but his famous martini - shaken not stirred, of course (contrary to most bartenders’ preferences, actually, Mr. Bond) - you can still access your inner 007 through any number of suave gin cocktails.
But the real question is - are you more of a rugged, surly-but-sensitive Daniel Craig type, an athletic, hirsute (but suave) Sean Connery, or an eyebrow-raisingly witty and debonair Roger Moore?
Now the’s time to find out - design your own ideal cocktail and we’ll tell you which Bond you really are!
Think foam topped sours, gin infused milkshakes, gin versions of the white Russian (our orange Russian, for instance) and even espresso martinis. Rich and silky, these kind of cocktails are for the smooth operators out there.
Effervescent, elegant and oh-so-classy, this type of tipple can add a regal touch to any evening. Whether a spritz or champagne cocktail, if the tuxedo-clad charm offensive if is your modus operandi then this type of cocktail is for you,
These cocktails are for the ‘00’ agent who likes things clean cut and precise. Often rich and with very little mixer, these are best enjoyed by agents with deeply decadent tastes.
Those field agents who like a little lip-smacking tang to their gin cocktails should take inspiration from old school classics like a gimlet or southside.
Do you need to woo your way into a villain-owned cocktail bar or seduce a foreign dignitary in order to get a secret password? Well then you may need to access your sweeter side. Cocktails like a Bramble may be your way in.
For the cool, calm and collected Bond who prefers to move in the shadows, there are those cocktails with darker, bitter tones like a negroni.
For the classic bonds out there we have a classic gin. London dry’s a characteristically complex and rich gin, perfect for any secret service agent. Boatyard Double Gin is one of our favourites!
The word ‘versatile’ should be in every agent’s dictionary, and that you certainly be the case if you prefer flavoured gins. These are reserved for those truly international men and women of mystery who love staking out bad guys in exotic locations. We love making our own!
Potent in the right hands, Navy Strength Gin is for those harden veterans of the secret service who can handle the kick of string gin experience. We highly recommend NB Navy Strength Gin!
A great way to add a rich laying of flavour to match your deep character profile.
These can really lift up your cocktail and add a brightness that you will probably after dealing with all the responsibilities of Her Majesty’s secret service!
For the agent who likes to indulge there are the luxurious delights of aged wines.
Like having two ‘00’ agents on the job. Adding a second spirit to your gin can be potent yet oh-so-effective!
Tall and exotic, this piece of glassware is perfect for the agent who likes to work with a little flare - one does not simply walk down a snowy hill, one somersaults onto a pair of ski’s and shoots down the mountain to a jump that lands you on a snowmobile so you can zoom away to safety. Without spilling a drop of your cocktail, of course.
That delicate long stem and elegant cup make this an ideal glass for an agent of subtlety and grace.
Tall and sturdy, this monolith of a glass is perfect for those stoic secret service men and women who would never break under interrogation.
The stalwart agent who likes to quietly sip at something dark and strong as they brood over missions past, present and future, would do well to choose the rocks glass.
A traditionalist, you garnish your cocktail in the same way you garish yourself - a rolex, a tailored suit and an Astin Martin DB5.
A lover of distraction techniques and elaborate disguises your an agent who doesn’t mind being centre of attention, especially if means that you can get the information you need as you draw their attention blinding close to your bight pink silk suit.
Not in it for the thrills, you are the agent that gets the job done with as little fuss as possible.
For many you are the quintessential image of Bond, suave and sophisticated - villain’s beware! Your cocktails are always made with style and ease.
A little eccentric yet always immaculate, you are the Bond that can charm what you need out of anyone. Your friends can always tell when you have been mixing the cocktails because they will be delivered with such a dashingly flamboyant and elegant flare.
A grittier Bond for the modern age, you are the Bond that gets the job done no matter what. You like a cocktail that you can quietly sip in peace, without any unnecessary thrills. For you, its simply about the spirits and all the delicious aromas and rich depth of flavour they embody.
