They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren’t going to enjoy.

I remember hearing a theory that he deliberately orders a mostly flavourless cocktail with very basic and common ingredients because it would make it easier to detect if someone had spiked his drink with something.
Standard, off the shelf ingredients means you can’t just spike the whole bottle ahead of time as each ingredient is pretty standard.
He also liked it shaken because that waters the drink down more. Meaning he’d be able to sip it without getting as drunk.
But the sad reality is that Ian Fleming was likely just an alcoholic who wrote his own vices into his characters.
