Drink Like a Leading Man: From Bond to Batman

From James Bond to Rick Blaine, classy on-screen men know a good cocktail when they see one, and while you may not be a film icon, there’s no reason not to drink like one. Read on to learn how to Drink Like Leading Man: From Bond to Batman.


James Bond is perhaps the most famous martini-drinking secret agent of all time, and yet, the cocktail drank by 007 is not a classic martini at all. A classic martini involves gin, dry vermouth, and an olive or twist, while Bond’s drink is the vesper, described in Casino Royale as, “Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet.” And as we know, it’s shaken, not stirred.

 

Tony Montana was a cocaine hustler who would have enjoyed taking a Liquid Cocaine shot, a tough shooter made of Bacardi 151, Goldschlager, and Jager. Mix these shots up, distribute them in shot glasses, and offer them around by saying, "Say 'ello to my little friend."

 

Yoda might not have been handsome in the traditional sense, but Jedi Mind Control was his bitch. He would probably enjoy a good old Alien Orgasm, a drink made of blue curacao, Malibu rum, Bailey’s, and Kahlua, that is, before he died.

 

Rick Blaine may have run a gin-joint and drank away his sorrows like a real American man with bourbon, but the drink of choice on Casablanca was actually the champagne cocktail, a drink comprised of champagne, brandy, bitters, and a sugar cube.

 

Batman had a lot to handle between balancing his playboy life as Bruce Wayne and his life as a renegade crime fighter, so he needed a little somethin’ somethin’ to get him revved. That’s why The Batman is made of gin and an energy drink over ice.
