The 008

May 22, 2011 (Day 55) — The 008

No one’s ever heard of Agent 008 — James Bond’s less fortunate super spy brother.

For some reason this came up when we Googled "Crappy Spy"

Consider this the wusses version of a James Bond cocktail. It tastes good, but you’re not winning any manliness competitions by drinking it.

The 008

• 2 oz Burnett’s Orange Cream Vodka
• 4 oz orange juice
• Ginger ale to top

Fill a Boston shaker with ice cubes. Add the vodka and orange juice. Shake well and pour whole mix into a highball glass without straining. Top with ginger ale.

This is probably our favorite of the week. There’s enough juice in there to temper the bite you can get from the Burnett’s. It’s well balanced, tastes good. What else can you ask for in a cocktail?

Cheers!
