Back in 1962, Sean Connery’s request for a “martini, shaken not stirred” made with vodka helped change how people made 007’s favourite cocktail—from using traditional gin to making it vodka-based. Over the course of the last 22 films, many Bond Girls have inspired their own drinks too. Here is a special selection of non-alcoholic recipes from the MI6 bar tending division to help everyone celebrate the occasion (click here for recipes for agents of legal drinking age).

The Honey Ryder
2 highball glasses
4 oz. (1/2 cup) orange juice
Flesh and seeds of 2 passion fruit
1 banana, skinned and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
4 teaspoons raw sugar
Crushed ice
Garnish: slices of ripe banana dusted with grated nutmeg

Whizz everything together in a blender with a scoop of crushed ice. Fill the glasses with crushed ice and pour in the drink.

The Pussy Galore
2 highball glasses
2 oz. (1/4 cup) cloudy apple juice
2 oz. (1/4 cup) orange juice

Whizz everything together in a blender along with crushed ice and split between the glasses.
