There’s more to the world of Bond-related drinking than the iconic – borderline trite – Vesper Martini (shaken not stirred). As you’ll learn within Shaken: Drinking With James Bond & Ian Fleming, an entire plethora of strong and carefully crafted cocktails are at the “glamorous heart” of every 007 story.
Within the 224 pages of this coffee table book drink cabinet book, not only will you come face-to-face with fifty distinct (and delicious) Bond-themed cocktail recipes inspired by the original books and developed by renowned London bar, Swift; but also read about the pleasures of drinking as written by the Bond progenitor himself, Ian Fleming. A complete experience which any die-hard 007 fan would surely enjoy.
