According to the original sources, Bond is of Irish descent, but does not show patriotism in the choice of drinks on the big screen. Therefore, to see the hero with a glass of scotch with soda in the movies can be extremely rare.

- about 60 ml of Scotch tape (Irish whiskey, bourbon, brandy, etc.) is poured into a tall glass goblet;
- added an arbitrary amount of soda - to taste;
