Channel your inner Bond Girl with these 'Double-0-Heavenly' cocktails.
Inspired by James Bond
With the launch of the latest James Bond film, Spectre, we take a look at classic cocktails with a delectable Bond Girl twist. Throughout the years, James Bond has sipped everything from Champagne to Tequila, but the drink that the 007 agent is most inextricably linked to is the martini - "shaken, not stirred".
The Flat White Martini is a delicious twist on this signature serve, which is even smoother than Bond himself. Comprised of Baileys, espresso and vodka, there is Dr. No doubt about it - this cocktail is an absolute must for cinema-goers and Baileys lovers this autumn.
Other cocktails inspired by the iconic film franchise include The Moneypenny, a blend of vodka and raspberries; and a cocktail that was actually ordered by a Bond girl in 1980s hit 'Never Say Never Again', The Domino Spicy Bloody Mary. Come together with your Bond girls to toast.

50ml Baileys® Original Irish Cream Liqueur
25ml Smirnoff No. 21® Vodka
