FLORENCE, ITALY – One of the most famous Bond girls, Eva Green, sips Campari cocktails in the striking new Campari 2015 calendar images.
James Bond drank Campari-based cocktail Negroni in Ian Fleming’s 1960 short story Risiko, which provided source material for the 12th James Bond film starring Roger Moore.
The French-born actress stars in the 16th edition of the calendar presented in London this week, called Mythology Mixology, paying homage to little-known anecdotes linked to the creation of 12 of the drinks company’s iconic cocktails.
The calendar was shot by acclaimed photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten – the first woman to get behind the lens for a Campari calendar. Eva Green is portrayed in 12 roles including a red-hot astronaut, a bartender and a boxing champion, following in the footsteps of actresses Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and Uma Thurman who have starred for Campari.
The Campari-based cocktail starring in the calendar, the Negroni, dates back to Florence in the 1920s when the notorious local count Camillo Negroni asked for a splash of gin in his Americano.
