Here’s The \u00a0Beyond Bond by Chris Natale of the Henri Brasserie Fran\u00e7aise of the Birks Hotel where he takes the name of 008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story behind the cocktail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The inspiration behind the cocktail comes from where?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had the idea of this cocktail at home, I wanted to make a cocktail with one more checkmark than the James Bond Vodka Martini, hence the name Beyond Bond or 008. Often when I make a cocktail at home, and Sunday is my day off, and I often get an Old Fashioned or something. But this time, I did not want an Old Fashioned, that’s where the inspiration comes from. I wanted some rum, so I started with Zacapa, a rum aged in cognac casks, and after a few tries with my different scotches, I wanted something peat for this cocktail and I found the right combination with either the Ardbeg 10 years or the Laphroaig Quarter Cask. An ingredient that has changed is the orange liquor, before it was China-China that had a beautiful velvety texture, but it is not distributed here anymore, so I use the Chinotto<\/a>, a private import of G \u00e0 la Deux and that’s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And how long have you been drinking this cocktail with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2016! While I was managing W Hotel’s Wunderbar and Plateau Lounge, I brought it to the bar, and it was a success. And it’s my signature cocktail that I bring wherever I go. I really like the fact that he’s in a few bars too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
