Movie	Drink & Recipe	Explanation
The Break-Up	Shot of Old Crow with an Ashtray Chaser Pour a room temperature shot of Old Crow. Pound and follow up with a mouthful of whatever is in the ashtray.	It starts out bad and just gets worse. ‘Nuff said.
Cars	STP* 10 oz Scotch 5 oz Vodka 4 oz Maple syrup Mixing instructions: Add whisky and vodka to glass of ice. Stir in maple syrup. Wait 2 minutes and enjoy	Obviously not for children, but not really for adults either. A little too sweet to be cool, and a lot too insistent to be charming, it’s the pot of mold at the end of the creation by commitee rainbow.
The Omen	Satan's Piss * 1 1/2 oz Bacardi 151 proof rum 3 dashes Tabasco sauce Mixing instructions: Pour rum into shot glass. Add tabasco to the top. Serve room temperature.	Awful. Just awful.
Nacho Libre	Tequila Manhattan* 2 oz Tequila 1 oz Sweet Vermouth 1 dash Lime juice 1 slice Orange 1 Cherry Mixing instructions: Shake tequila, vermouth, and lime juice with ice and strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes. Add the slice of orange, top with the cherry, and serve.	Light, refreshing, kinda tasty, but frankly is just a pale and vulgar imitation of a classy and well mannered standard. Who knew Wes Anderson made good Manhattans?
Click	Mind Eraser* 2 oz Vodka 2 oz Kahlua 2 oz Tonic water Mixing instructions: In a rocks glass pour vodka, the Kahlua and then the tonic water. Serve with a straw.	Juvenile, but thinks it’s better than its painfully similar, but more enjoyable brethren. Go for a Black Russian or a Billy Madison before you try either of these.
Superman Returns	All-American* 1 oz Bourbon 1 oz Southern Comfort 2 oz Coca-Cola Mixing instructions: Serve with two ice-cubes.	Not what most people expected, but a well balanced mix of many classic ingredients, made for experienced fans, but just as apt to make new ones.
The Devil Wears Prada	Appletini* 1 oz Vodka 1 oz Sour Apple schnapps 1 oz Apple juice Mixing instructions: Poor all ingredients into a shaker. Shake well and strain into a Martini glass.	At once trendy and out of date. The ladies can still get away with enjoying it, but it’s really not that good and don’t let the guys see you even carrying it.
