Nemiroff’s experts predict a sharper, more tactical evolution of the classic Vodka Martini.
It’s not just Bond fans placing bets on who will replace Daniel Craig, the next tuxedoed icon may also be changing what’s in his glass. Ukrainian vodka house Nemiroff has entered the conversation, reimagining what the world’s most famous cocktail could look like for a new era of espionage and sophistication.
Because when Bond evolves, so does the drink that defines him.
Shaken, Not Stirred, but Smarter
What does a martini look like when the man behind it is younger, more deliberate, and arguably more self-aware?
Nemiroff’s mixologist Yulia Terletska believes the answer lies not in reinvention, but refinement. The new Bond Martini, she suggests, is still vodka-forward and fiercely shaken, yet “clean, sharp, and deceptively simple,” a mirror of a character who now thrives on precision rather than theatrics.
This Bond doesn’t have to announce himself to command a room. His drink speaks for him: minimal, meticulous, and effortlessly modern.
A Modern Classic: How the 2025 Martini Differs
Traditionally, the 007 formula combines gin, vodka, dry vermouth, and a lemon peel garnish. Nemiroff’s prediction for 2025 pares things back and introduces a subtle twist: a dash of orange bitters.
It’s a quiet revolution; one that brings aromatic warmth, citrus, and spice, deepening the complexity without losing the purity of the base spirit. In short, a cocktail as strategic as its drinker.
The Modern Bond Martini (Nemiroff Edition)
Ingredients:
60ml Nemiroff De Luxe Vodka
10ml Dry Vermouth
1 dash Orange Bitters
Method:
Shake hard over ice for 15 seconds.
Strain into a frozen martini glass.
Express and discard a lemon twist.
The result? A martini that’s still unapologetically Bond, but one step ahead of everyone else in the room.
A Drink Fit for Any Mission
Whether it’s sipped in Monte Carlo, savoured atop a Berlin rooftop, or poured at home for a quiet celebration, the new Bond Martini feels right for a world that values intentional luxury over excess. It’s not a “healthified” rework or a chase for trends. It’s a statement of evolution … of taste, of control, of quiet confidence.
And if history has taught us anything, Bond always knew when to adapt.
So, as we await the next name behind the bow tie, one thing seems certain: the martini glass will never look quite the same again.
