Here's my tuppence:

The delightful Johnny Depp drank my Blueberry & Ginger Bourbon sours, while 
the delectable Vanessa Paradis drank Strawberry Mojitos, while I worked at the 
Buddha Bar in Paris. Then when I moved to the Hideout (still in Paris) they 
generally came in for aperitifs - him on Pastis, her on Kir Royal.

Johnny Halliday (probably unknown outside France) drank copious amounts of 
Woodford Reserve Old Fashioneds, after I introduced him to them. Prior to 
that, he drank cheap Scotch. Oh, the influence we have.

I made Kylie Minogue, Lychee Martinis in Opium in Belfast.

David Bowie drank Bombay Sapphire Martinis in the Europa Hotel in Belfast.

While I worked in Harry's Bar, Paris, Oliver Reed came in for Bloody Marys, 
Peter O'Toole had a couple (ahem) of Sidecars, while Elizabeth Hurley had a 
Stinger. Plenty of other celebs came in while I worked there, but few ordered 
cocktails (shame on them).

In the Absolut Bar in Vienna, I made Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss Champagne 
Cocktails. 

Jane Birkin religiously came to the Fubar in Paris for my Appletinis. (she's 
the woman who groans in Serge Gainborough's infamous song "Je t'aime", for 
those who don't know her). She made similar noises when consuming my drinks 
wink

I served a pint of Guinness to Bill Clinton too, but he only drank half of it 
(girl).

I have several hundreds more, but am very conscious of creating an image of 
being celebrity-stalked wink
