007’s vodka martini is enjoying a starring role among trendy young drinkers, a report claims.
The cocktail, which James Bond famously enjoyed “shaken not stirred”, is among tipples from films and TV shows being lapped up by Gen Z revellers.
Drinks brand Kakira Cane said demand from customers for its Martini glasses and retro decanters were soaring thanks to the influence of Bond, last played by Daniel Craig.
Other popular screen drinks being mixed at home are said to include Carrie Bradshaw’s Cosmopolitan from Sex and the City and the Long Island iced tea, sipped by Leonardo DiCaprio as The Great Gatsby.
Don Draper’s whisky-based Old Fashioned from TV’s Mad Men is another fave.
Elsewhere, some love drinking out of luxurious champagne coupes, Marilyn Monroe-style.

Cocktail expert Anthony Habert, from Kakira Cane, said drinking trends moved in cycles, and 2025 had been “a year of real revival”.
He went on: “People are craving sophistication and story, and there’s nothing more evocative than holding the same drink your favourite movie icon once ordered.
“Whether it’s a Marilyn Monroe champagne coupe or a Don Draper Old Fashioned, it’s about romance, elegance and nostalgia.
“It’s not just about the drink itself — presentation is everything.
“Glassware, garnish, even the setting — people are recreating those cinematic moments at home.”
