Back in 1962, Sean Connery’s request for a “martini, shaken not stirred” made with vodka helped change how people made 007’s favourite cocktail, from using traditional gin to making it vodka-based. Over the course of the last 24 films, many Bond Girls have inspired their own drinks too. Here is a special selection of non-alcoholic recipes from the MI6 bar tending division to help everyone celebrate the occasion.
The Honey Ryder
Inspired by the first leading lady of the James Bond film series, this tropical smoothy style cocktail is sure to leave your guests dreaming of Bahamian beaches.

1 banana, skinned and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
4 teaspoons raw sugar
Crushed ice
Garnish: slices of ripe banana dusted with grated nutmeg
Method
Whizz everything together in a blender with a scoop of crushed ice. Fill the glasses with crushed ice and pour in the drink.
