Favorite drink of 111-Across
Answer:
MARTINI
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue is a direct reference to another answer in the puzzle—specifically, the person or character named at 111-Across. If that entry is someone famously associated with martinis (like James Bond, who often orders them "shaken, not stirred"), the answer is simply their signature drink. The clue assumes you’ve already filled in 111-Across, so you’d connect their identity to the well-known martini preference. No wordplay here, just a straightforward cultural nod.
