Ever since Craig’s command for a Vesper Martini, the cocktail is regularly one Cash mixes for hotel guests looking to live like 007, if only for a day. Long-time Ocean Club bartender Keith Cash watched from the wings while Daniel Craig’s martini scene was shot at the six-seat bar in which Cash has worked since 1987.Ĭash has served hundreds of drinks since the 22nd Bond movie revealed to the world the stately elegance of his Ocean Club workplace. (Another Nassau watering hole, now the home of The Bahamas’ John Watling’s Rum, was also the location of a major scene in the film.)
The lobby bar at The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, served one of the signature movie locales for the 2006 remake of Casino Royale, Daniel Craig’s first film in the role of 007. A slew of Bond films serve as inspiration for the harrowing challenges and locations, gadgets and stunts (snakes and tarantulas, oh my). They all preferred their martinis shaken, not stirred. Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig had one thing in common when starring in the legendary James Bond movie series.
