Daniel Craig as James Bond with Ana de Armas and Mermaid Bottles in the background

Isle of Wight’s iconic Mermaid Gin bottles star in latest James Bond film, No Time To Die

Isle of Wight Distillery are letting anyone going to see the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, know to keep an eye out for their award-winning iconic Mermaid Gin bottles.

In the long-awaited film, there’s a scene where Daniel Craig is having a drink in a bar with Ana de Armas (who Isle of Wight’s CHAMPS starred with in this short film), and in the background you’ll see bottles of Mermaid Gin and Mermaid Pink Gin.

Celebrate with a Mermaid Vesper Martini
Isle of Wight Distillery are suggesting that in celebration of the launch of the new film, why not try a Mermaid Vesper Martini.

Smooth and sophisticated, there’s nothing quite like a Bond-inspired Vesper Martini.

Breaking with convention, shaken, not stirred, is the only way to go. 

The Mermaid take on the classic Vesper uses lime, instead of lemon, for a zesty kick that pairs beautifully with Mermaid Salt Vodka.

How to make a Vesper Martini?
To make the Vesper Martini you’ll need 60ml Mermaid Gin, 20ml Mermaid Salt Vodka and 15ml White Vermouth and lime peel for garnish.

Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice. Give it a vigorous shake and strain into a glass and garnish with lime peel.

Isle of Wight Distillery
Mermaid Gin and Vodka are produced in Ryde at the Isle of Wight Distillery, the first and only distillery on the Island.

Mermaid spirits are shaped by the distillery’s stunning surroundings and the unique character of the Isle of Wight all whilst minimising waste using ethically sourced and often locally sourced ingredients to hand-craft a range of smooth, complex spirits, with a hint of sea air.
