We are still with Jordan Paley as we continue our movie month with a discussion of how drinks can be used to build out characters! From neat whiskey, to champagne, and the ever distinctive bright blue "girly drinks," what do drinks on the screen communicate about the characters that drink them? We explore this connection and much more this week!
Drinks discussed:
Aquarius
1 oz. Azeo Apple vodka
1 oz. Menorval Calvados Prestige
3/4 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. Maraska Maraschino Liqueur
1/4 oz. Vendrenne Blue Curaçao
2 oz. San Pellegrino Lemon Soda
Pour the San Pellegrino into a highball glass over ice. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled. Strain into the highball glass over the San Pellegrino, pouring along the side of the glass to float the mixture over the soda.
Black Mask
1 oz. Georgetown Distillery Bourbon
3/4 oz. lemon juice
1/2 oz. Fernet Vallet
1/4 oz. Riga Black Basalm
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, and shake until frost forms on the outside of the shaker. Strain into a coupe glass, garnish with a lemon twist, and serve
