Drinks from the movies

That’s the same thing I was thinking- even though it comes from a book, it was made into a movie. I believe Douglas Adams said drinking it is like being hit in the head with a lemon wrapped inside a brick.

From our own Straight dope
Ian Fleming gives a recipe for his Bond’s preferred libation in the first Bond book, Casino Royale (1953), chapter 7:

“A dry martini,” he said. “One. In a deep champagne goblet.”

“Oui, monsieur.”

“Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?”

I’ve always wanted a Tahitian Lady – flaming.

In Cannery Row, Doc went into a diner and ordered a beer malted.

After reading that book I did actually try a beer milkshake. I thought it might not be too terrible if made with homebrewed stout. I was so wrong.

Lots of drinkies in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withnail_and_I#Drinking_Game]Withnail And I". :smiley:

Oh yeah, and lousy coding even without any drinks. :frowning: Oops.

I used to work in a cuban resturaunt (Cabana in the south street seaport)
And there we didn’t use grainualed sugar, but simple syrup. Makes a better mojito imho. See having a liquid to bruse the mint into helps release the flavor.

For a mix up try a mojita, same deal just add a half oz of grenidine.-

Not exactly from a movie, but:

On an episode of The Simpsons, homer and moe invent a drink called the flaming homer. We used to have these in college:

2 shots rum, non-spiced
3 shots gin
3 shots vodka
2 shots whiskey
2 shots tequila
1 shot blue curacao (sp?)
top with grain alcohol or 151 (here in Michigan everclear isn’t sold)
light on fire
blow out, and enjoy :slight_smile: You only need one.

What about the cough syrup?

That’s what the blue curacao was for I suppose. Hey, I didn’t invent it. Actually, after having one, you are kinda sad that it was invented at all :frowning:
