The Spy Who Loved to Have a Drink written by From Sweden with Love reader Žiga Vižintin is a literary guide to the drinks featured in the James Bond novels written by Ian Fleming. The book is now available in paperback. (The hardback edition was published in November 2025.)
This unofficial and unauthorized literary guide explores the drinks of
Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels — from bone-dry martinis and vintage champagnes to stiff bourbons and exotic liqueurs. And it’s not just about Bond: you’ll discover what his lovers sipped, what his friends toasted with, and what his enemies drank to impress.
Whether it’s a pink gin in Jamaica, a bottle of Chianti on the Orient Express, or a quiet bourbon before a dangerous mission, every drink tells a story. Featuring direct quotations from the novels, literary and cultural background, cocktail recipes, and a dash of humour, this book is a tribute to Bond’s rich liquid world.
You’ll discover real-world bars and restaurants where you can still order a drink like James Bond — and imagine you’re waiting for your next assignment.

For readers who like their drinks strong, and their literary guides even stronger.
Order the paperback edition of The Spy Who Loved to Have a Drink by Žiga Vižintin from Amazon UK or Amazon.com.
