Brsistol fans were treated to a bit of "shaken not stirred" before watching the new James Bond film which opened last night .

Bartenders armed with silver shakers and exotic fruit, mixed cocktails for guests at the Quantum of Solace 6.30pm screening.

The Flair bartending team gave the family event at the Odeon, Broadmead a touch of glamour after audiences of all ages supped non-alcoholic drinks.

The University of the West of England Bar School members used ingredients like peach, oranges, limes and coconut to make two cocktails: 'Licence to Thrill' and 'Virgin Vespa'.

Cinema staff looked swave as they donned tuxedos donated by Moss Bross for the night.

General manager, David Carpenter said: "We wanted to provide a family-friendly environment with free non-alcoholic cocktails served in martini glasses shaken or stirred.

"We wanted to add a little ambience to the night and encourage people to come and take part in a night of fun at their local cinema."

Last night was part of a string of events geared to coax audiences back to the Odeon after the Cinema De Lux opened last month.

And in the wake of the Cabot Circus super-cinema, the Odeon has dropped prices. Adults will now pay £4.75 and children £3.50.

Students and those in full-time education will also only pay £3.50 along with 15-17 year olds, who normally pay adult prices.

Mr Carpenter added: "Despite the recent new cinema opening, Odeon Broadmead Bristol's new price reduction message is starting to see the return of our guests for a better value-for-money choice of cinema experiences.

"Bookings for the 007 film are very promising and we are expecting some sell out shows over the weekend."
