How To Drink Like James Bond (A Guide For Sponsors)

Beer Contrary to rumour, y ou drink it occasionally. In Geneva a 'Löwenbräu', in the US a 'Miller High Life', a couple of 'Red Stripe' in Jamaica and as many as four steins of local brew in Munich if you find yourself with an ex-Luftwafffe pilot. You eschew English beer: it belongs in pubs and you do not. Whiskey  Preferably a bourbon such as 'Old Grand Dad', 'I.W. Harper's', 'Walker's Deluxe' or 'Jack Daniel's'. You have the entire bottle brought on a tray with a bowl of ice and a tumbler and prepare the drink as follows: you half fill the glass with ice and add three fingers of whiskey. You swill it around to cool it, break it down with the ice and drink it down in two long draughts, feeling its friendly bite at the back of your throat and in your stomach.
