Movie	Drink & Recipe	Explanation
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest	Rum Fix* 2 1/2 oz Light rum Juice of 1 Lemon 1 tsp Powdered sugar 1 tsp Water 1 slice Lemon Mixing instructions: Stir juice of lemon, powdered sugar, and water in a highball glass. Fill glass with ice, add rum, and stir. Add the slice of lemon and serve with a straw.	The rum says pirates, but it's really just a rip-off of a superior classic and will leave your face in an unpleasant pucker.
You, Me and Dupree	Kamikaze* 1 oz Vodka 1 oz Triple sec 1 oz Lime juice Mixing instructions: Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into an old-fashioned glass over ice cubes, and serve.	Strictly for beginners or someone who doesn’t want to use their brain to order something good. Not to mention the name pretty much means a diving bomb, at least colloquially.
Lady in the Water	Algae* 1/2 oz Vodka 1/2 oz Melon liqueur 1/2 oz Raspberry schnapps 1/2 oz Blue Curacao 2 oz Sweet and sour 2 oz 7-Up Mixing instructions: Shake all ingredients over ice and pour into highball glass. No garnish.	It doesn’t look very good, and to be honest, if you’re interested you probably don’t have very good taste. Feel free to choke it down, but if you asked for it don’t complain..
Clerks II	Porch Monkey* 1 1/2 oz Vodka 1 1/2 oz Grape schnapps Fill with Lemonade Mixing instructions: Mix all ingredients together over ice. Stir well. Enjoy	“It's okay. I'm taking it back.”
Miami Vice	Mojito* 3 oz Light rum Juice of 1 Lime (1 oz) 2 tsp Sugar 2-4 Mint sprigs Soda water Mixing instructions: Lightly muddle the mint and sugar with a splash of soda water in a mixing glass until the sugar dissolves and you smell the mint. Squeeze the lime into the glass, add rum and shake with ice. Strain over cracked ice in a highball glass. Top with soda water, garnish with mint sprig and serve.	Again slick and trendy and yet curiously out of date. You could do a lot worse than this, but then again with these ingredients you should be able to do a lot better with just a few more. That and the word “Mojito” is peppered throughout the script like “Cocksuckers” in Deadwood.
