A fierce, feminine, take-no-prisoners cocktail inspired by the woman who could out-Bond Bond.
If there’s one thing the James Bond universe taught us, it’s that the most unforgettable characters aren’t always the ones holding the martini. Pussy Galore proved that in about three seconds flat. Confident, glamorous, and utterly unbothered by 007’s ego, she stole scenes the way this cocktail will steal the spotlight at your next gathering.
This drink carries that same energy — bold, elegant, a little dangerous, and definitely not designed to fade into the background.
💖 Ingredients
Serves 1
- 45ml gin (a floral or citrus-led gin adds a touch of Bond-girl sophistication)
- 15ml Chambord
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml vanilla syrup or simple syrup
- A splash of cranberry juice
- Ice
- Edible pink shimmer (because subtlety is overrated)
- Lemon twist or rose petal for garnish
💋 Instructions
- Frost a coupe glass — Bond may have been a martini man, but even he’d respect a proper chill.
- Add gin, Chambord, lemon juice, syrup, and a splash of cranberry to a shaker.
- Add ice and shake like you’re trying to shake off a suave secret agent who thinks he’s irresistible.
- Strain into your chilled coupe.
- Sprinkle a touch of edible pink shimmer for that cinematic sparkle.
- Garnish with a lemon twist or a single rose petal — elegant but with attitude.
😘 Why You’ll Love It
This cocktail is everything a Bond girl should be: striking, self-assured, a little sweet, a little sharp, and impossible to forget. The mix of gin and Chambord creates a silky, berry-meets-botanical flavour, while the cranberry keeps it bright and vibrant. It’s feminine, powerful, and designed to make an entrance.
💋 Final Word
If James Bond orders a drink “shaken, not stirred,” the Pussy Galore cocktail answers with, “Watch and learn.”
Serve it, sip it, and step into your own Bond-girl moment — no secret agent required.
Cheers to glamour, mischief, and martinis being far from the only iconic drink in the franchise. 💖✨
