Goldfinger (1964)

Sour mash, but not too sweet, please.

Bond’s order of a traditional Kentucky mint julep is delivered with his trademark blend of charm and snobbery.  Offered by Goldfinger, the moment feels less like a prelude to an apocalyptic gold manipulation scheme and more like a genteel afternoon at the Kentucky Derby.  The phrase “sour mash” refers to a whiskey production method (not a flavor) so Bond’s request is both impressively specific and hilariously unnecessary.  It’s the kind of drink order that says, “I have refined taste…and zero self-awareness.”
