Gun under your pillow
“Tell me James, do you still sleep with a gun under your pillow”
- Paris Carver, Tomorrow Never Dies
When Paris voices these words, little does she know that she has sealed her doom. Courtesy of her despicable husband Elliot Carver, a ‘date with the Doctor’ awaits after her romantic reconsummation with Bond.
Relive Bond’s recurring sleepless nights over his former lover’s death by:
Filling a flute two thirds of the way with Champagne (“Mrs Carver will have a glass of Mr Carver’s Champagne”)
Top up with Tequila Blanco (“Mrs Carver will have a shot of tequila, straight up”)
Only if you need to sweeten the harsh reality that you sealed the death warrant of someone you loved add a dash of agave syrup. Otherwise leave it dry and bitter.
Garnish with a twist of lime.
(Optional) Place a Walther P99 under your pillow.
This is essentially a French 75 with tequila/lime instead of gin/lemon and it’s just as brilliant. Swap ingredients as you need to (e.g. Prosecco or Cava for Champagne, Tequila Resposado for Blanco, etc).
