Shaken, not stirred.
Say those three words and most people know exactly who you’re talking about.
Bond. James Bond.
Never has a character been more identified with a particular cocktail. In this case, a dry, vodka martini.
That’s probably why Daniel Craig had three or four of them in 2005 in Baltimore (where he was filming “The Invasion”) upon learning he was cast as Bond, Craig recalled during a recent interview with “No Time To Die: The Official James Bond” podcast.
“I was in the supermarket buying groceries and the phone went and (producer) Barbara (Broccoli) said, ‘Over to you kiddo’,” he said. “I got drunk, that’s what I did. I bought a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vermouth, a cocktail shaker and made myself three or four vodka martinis. Except I could only do it on my own because I couldn’t celebrate with anybody because I had to keep it secret. There was a sort of melancholy to it.”
The funny part is Bond’s creator, author Ian Fleming, probably would have rather taken a bullet than drink a vodka martini. Fleming’s drink of choice was the classic, dry gin martini, preferably made by a skilled bartender at Duke’s, Fleming’s favorite bar in London. Such classic cocktails still reign supreme at Duke’s Bar, thanks to master bartender, Alessandro Palazzi.
And when Fleming wasn’t drinking gin martinis, he was often drinking great wine. Upon receiving several bottles of vintage Champagne from Taittinger as a gift, Fleming wrote a letter on April 9, 1963 to the Champagne house in Reims, France (where the framed letter now hangs in a private tasting room at Taittinger) to thank them for sending “your beautiful new bottles of the Blanc de Blancs for ‘53, which I believe to be superb.” Fleming added that his fictional creation was in Japan at the moment and “I shall try and play fair with him, but it may well be that by the time he returns he will find nothing but the empty bottles.”
As for 007, he is a connoisseur of fine wine as well. Right from the first James Bond movie, “Dr. No,” martinis and wine (especially Champagne) feature prominently in many scenes throughout the spy franchise. Bond even uncovers a secret double agent in “From Russia With Love” and a pair of assassins in “Diamonds Are Forever” based solely on Bond’s extensive knowledge of wine.
Forget about a license to kill.
This master British spy has a license to drink – and drink well.
So in honor of “No Time To Die,” the latest James Bond movie (and Craig’s last one) that comes out this week, here is every cocktail, every glass of wine and even a few bottles of beer and a glass of ouzo featured in the first 24 James Bond movies, along with the other two unofficial Bond films – the 1967 mad capped version of “Casino Royale” and the 1983 version of “Never Say Never Again” featuring Sean Connery one more time. Hope you enjoy.
BOND BY THE NUMBERS
EVERY MARTINI, COCKTAIL, WINE & OTHER DRINKS

DR. NO (1962)
Plot – James Bond is sent to Jamaica to find out why a fellow British agent has disappeared.
Bond – Played by Sean Connery, the best and first Bond.
Villain – Joseph Wiseman as Dr. No.
First Drink – 24 minutes, 38 seconds into the movie, Bond has “one medium dry vodka martini, mixed like you said, sir – and not stirred” in his hotel room in Jamaica. The martini is made with Smirnoff vodka, vermouth and limes.
Other Cocktails – Negroni, glass of rum, a vodka with ice, 2 shots of vodka, medium dry martini,
Wines – Unnamed red wine with dinner with Dr. No. A bottle of 1955 Dom Perignon Champagne with Dr. No, which Bond cheekily tastes and says, “I prefer the 53 myself,” then uses the empty bottle as a weapon.
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (1963)
Plot – Bond is sent to Istanbul, Turkey to obtain a decoding device in the best Bond movie ever made. Sorry, Goldfinger.
Bond – Sean Connery
Villain – Anthony Dawson as Ernst Blofeld, although Rosa Klebb (played to perfection by Lotte Lenya) does most of the heavy lifting.
First Drink – 18:15 – Bond pulls a bottle of Taittinger Champagne out of a stream tied to a punting boat in England (probably in Oxford or Cambridge), feels the full bottle, says “Not quite,” puts the bottle back in the water and never drinks it. – 40:00 – First actual drink, a glass of Raki, a distilled alcohol popular in Turkey, served to Bond at a “gypsy camp” in Turkey. Bond has two glasses.
Other Cocktails – Bond has another drink of Raki straight from the bottle after a fight. That’s it. No vodka martinis!
Wines – There’s only one wine scene in the entire movie but it’s a great one. During dinner on the Orient Express train from Istanbul to Venice, Bond orders a bottle of “Blanc de Blanc” Taittinger Champagne (the same kind sent to author Ian Fleming the same year) for himself, his fellow female agent and a double agent sent to kill Bond. The double agent orders Chianti, “the red kind” with grilled sole. He also puts a sleeping pill in the female agent’s Champagne. After dinner in the train compartment, the double agent pulls a gun on Bond, who says, “Red wine with fish. That should have told me something.” The double agent replies, “You may know the right wines, but you’re the one on your knees.” Bond then wins the fight.
GOLDFINGER (1964)
Plot – Bond must stop Auric Goldfinger from implementing his devious plan of world domination in this delightful classic adored by Bond fans.
Bond – Sean Connery
Villain – Gert Frobe has a field day as Goldfinger.
First Drink – 15:29 – We see an open bottle of 1953 Dom Perignon in an ice bucket in a hotel room in Miami. Bond removes the bottle. “Ah, it’s lost its chill. It’s alright. There’s another in the fridge.” The woman with Bond, Jill Masterson (played by Shirley Eaton), replies, “Who needs it?” Bond replies, “My girl, there are just some things that are not done, such as drinking Dom Perignon ‘53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s as bad as listening to The Beatles without earmuffs.” Just as Bond gets the new bottle of Champagne out of the fridge, Oddjob (Harold Sakata) knocks out Bond.
Other Cocktails – For the first time in a Bond movie, he orders a “martini, shaken not stirred,” on Goldfinger’s private jet. Also has a mint julip with “sour mash but not too sweet,”

Other Cocktails – Bond has a Campari with gin or vodka with ice after a fight, Rum Collins with Largo at his compound.
Wines – Bond orders a bottle of 1955 Dom Perignon with Beluga caviar at dinner but never drinks it, a recurring them in many Bond films. It’s amazing how many bottles of wine are ordered but never actually consumed. Bond later finally has a glass of unnamed Champagne.
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE (1967)
Plot – Two spacecraft in orbit have disappeared. Bond gets to the bottom of it.
Bond – Sean Connery
Villain – Donald Pleasence as the bald, cat-loving Blofeld we all know and the one Mike Myers parodied in Austin Powers.
First Drink – 21:30 – Bond has a vodka martini with lots of vermouth “stirred not shaken” in a rocks glass in Japan.
Other Cocktails – Shot of gin or vodka after killing someone. Glass of bourbon or scotch neat, meaning no ice. Glass of Saki, which Bond compliments. “I like Saki, especially when it’s served at the correct temperature, 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit, like this is.”
Wines – Glass of 1959 Dom Perignon, which Bond, pretending to be Mr. Fisher, a salesman, in Tokyo initially declines by saying, “No thanks. It’s too early in the morning for me.” “Dom Perignon ‘59. You sure you won’t change your mind.” “Well, if you insist.”
CASINO ROYALE (1967)
(Unofficial Bond movie)
Plot – Dated parody of James Bond movies in which Bond investigates the death of two spies.

DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971)
Plot – Bond jets around the world to uncover a diamond smuggling ring.
Bond – Sean Connery returns.
Villain – Charles Gray as a rather bland Blofeld.

It’s an unusually fine Solera,” a type of Sherry. “51 I believe,” Bond adds. “There is no year for Sherry, 007,” M replies. “I was referring to the original vintage on which the Sherry is based – 1851. It’s unmistakable.”
Other Cocktails – Glass of whisky neat in Amsterdam, Smirnoff vodka martini in a bathtub in Las Vegas.
Wines – Other than the Sherry, there’s only one other wine scene but it’s a great one like the one in “From Russia With Love.” Minutes before the end of the movie, Bond and Tiffany Case (Jill St. John) are on a cruise ship when two assassins disguised as waiters arrive in their cabin with a surprise, gourmet meal, including a bottle of 1955 Mouton Rothschild, one of the world’s greatest wines from France’s Bordeaux region. “I expected a Claret,” Bond says. One of the waiters explains that the ship is low on Claret. “Mouton Rothschild is a Claret,” Bond replies. Claret is the word Brits use for Bordeaux. And with that, a fight ensues on the ship between Bond and the two assassins. Guess who wins?
