I prefer Beefeater, because it’s a very classic London Dry and I can get it in a large bottle for relatively little money (gin be expensive). Now that we’ve attributed this appropriately, let’s get into how it’s better.įirst things first, we’re going to just acknowledge that we can do better than Gordon’s.

Like many of my favorite cocktails, I found out about it through Leandro DiMonriva’s (the current bar manager at Cole’s) cocktail YouTube channel, The Educated Barfly. Bond first requests a dry martini then quickly adjusts his order to, Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. It first appears in Fleming’s 1953 book Casino Royale, during a scene where Bond is meeting with his friend Felix Leiter. This is a recipe created by actor, screenwriter, and bartender Brent Falco in 2013, during her tenure as the bar manager at Cole’s French Dip. The Vesper is a cocktail made with gin, vodka, and Lillet. Now, how to improve this… The Modern Reconstructionįull disclosure: this reconstruction is not my creation. For spirit-forward drinks like this one, stirring will help get the drink even colder and dilute it a little less than shaking (as long as you’re using high-quality ice). My one deviation from the original recipe here is to stir rather than shake. That said, his CPR technique needed work, and there was no chest rise and fall when he was delivering rescue breaths.ĬPR in Entertainment is a series based on rescue scenes found in both TV shows and movies.Stirred, you say! Indeed. As Bond does CPR, he manages to do some things correctly, including properly finding the correct location for doing the compressions (which some claim he does for other immature reasons). The next CPR scene happens after a drowning, and the victim is Bond’s supervisor Vesper Lynd, as played by Eva Green. Movies are wonderful things, aren’t they? At this point, he recovers and the movie goes on. Finally, someone else comes along and does it for him after he passes out. He then makes it to his car where he injects himself with something, and proceeds to attempt to use a defibrillator on himself.

He proceeds to drink a cup full of saltwater, and then stumbles out of the building. He realizes what is happening, and stumbles to a restroom with a glass and a salt shaker from a table he passes along the way. In the first scene, James Bond is poisoned. Casino Royale is one of the latest James Bond movies, and was the first to star Daniel Craig in the leading role. And neither of them accurately portrayed. There are two CPR sequences in Casino Royale to mention.
