"Shaken, not stirred" — those words are forever linked to James Bond as the way he prefers his martinis to be made. But martinis aren't the only drinks that have had their moment in the spotlight because of a TV series or a movie. The following are three tasty creations that became just as famous as the actors and actresses who sipped on them. <\/p>\n
