5 drinks to order because your favourite fictional characters did

5 drinks to order because your favourite fictional characters did


Carrie Bradshaw’s COSMOPOLITAN
The famous journalist drinks these (1 ounce vodka, 1/2 ounces Triple Sec, 1/2 ounce lime juice, 1/2 ounce cranberry juice) all through the many seasons of Sex & The City.

The Famous Five’s GINGER BEER
Summer picnics with the Five (okay four, since Timmy the dog does not like ginger beer) weren’t complete without copious quantities of this very British drink.

Harry Potter’s PUMPKIN JUICE
Butterbeer is sold only at the Harry Potter theme park, but pumpkin juice can be made just about anywhere. Drink up, and pretend you’re on the Hogwarts Express!

Precious Ramotswe’s REDBUSH TEA
The owner of Botswana’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency drinks this refreshing, almost nutty tea that is native to Africa.
 
 
James Bond’sVESPER MARTINI

Daniel Craig orders one in Casino Royale: “Three measures of Gordon’s; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it over ice, and add a thin slice of lemon peel.”
