The 007 Cocktail Kit
Every true James Bond fan knows (or should) that Bond ordered his first martini in the book “Casino Royale”, in 1953. His order was special, precise, Bond’s cohort in misadventure. Now shortened to just “Vesper”, bartenders I know (in passing), try not to roll their eyes when ordered, because “it has to be precise or it tastes very wrong” as one told me. I decided against ordering it just to keep things pleasant. In that same novel, 007 first told the barman his drink should be “shaken, not stirred”.

Celebrating Connolly’s collaboration with 007 and No Time To Die, the collection includes a series of timeless leather pieces created in the same Connolly Vaumol leather that has graced the interior of James Bond’s iconic Aston Martin DB5 since Goldfinger in 1964.
