Casino Royale: the cocktail

Written By Antony Lowbridge-Ellis

We’ll be starting our upcoming #TimeToDonate charity watchalong/drinkalong of Casino Royale around 9am. But if we start with the signature drink of that story - Vesper Martinis - we'll be wiped out before lunchtime! This twist on a classic Champagne cocktail (made with English sparkling wine) will work for breakfast time - or any time.


♣️ Place a small demerara sugar cube in a Champagne flute.
♥️ Pour in a measure of Mandarine Napoleon (Cognac-based mandarine liqueur) for the French setting of the original novel and the nationality of Eva Green in the film. The sugar will start to dissolve.
♠️ Bring Bond into the explosive mix: top with English sparkling wine (we used Nyetimber)
♦️ Enjoy
