Recipes for the world’s best movie cocktails

Pavel Surkov

Today is International Bartending Day. On this occasion, RIA Novosti recalls five cocktails that you know for sure but may not have tried. They were drunk with pleasure by the heroes of popular films.

1. “French 75”

This cocktail that Rick Blaine brought to his girlfriend Ilse in Casablanca. The drama of the situation gets worse as they realize the emptiness of their memories of distant Paris and the despair of circumstances. Yes, and the cocktail at that time was considered one of the most powerful, deadly – even its name referred to the French 75th caliber howitzer.

It is made this way: one dose of lemon juice, two – gin and four – champagne (any sparkling wine will do). Sometimes sugar syrup is added, but it is also possible without it.

2. “Belarusian”

This drink is favored by The Dude from The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers. Even the so-called Lebowski Challenge is common among fans of the movie: having a drink while staring at the screen with Jeff Bridges’ hero. Considering that the action takes place over a few days, she consumes nine servings. But mastering so much in two hours isn’t a test for wimps.

Also, “White Russian” is served, as a rule, as a digestive tract, that is, after a meal.

By the way, the ancestor of this drink is the Russian Bear cocktail: vodka, gin and coffee liqueur. We remove the gin, add ice, add a measure of coffee liqueur, a measure of vodka and a measure of cream. Voila, you can go bowling!

3. “Cosmopolitan”

From Sex and the City. At first, the cocktail was considered exclusively female, but then gender equality prevailed. So Carrie and her girlfriends are quite fashionable: a rare American secular party did without the Cosmopolitan, which is insidious in its own way. It looks sour, light, as a rule, one serving is not limited.

We remember the recipe: one dose of orange liqueur, two – cranberry juice and three – vodka. A few drops of lemon juice and you’re done. You can cook for a girl, you can let her feel like Samantha or Miranda.

4. Bond cocktails

There are two. The first is the famous “vodka martini, shaken but not stirred”. Unfortunately this expression is an incorrect translation: Bond means the process of preparing a drink: it must be made in a shaker and not stirred with a spoon. A dose of vermouth, five – vodka, well shaken – and you’re ready to save the world and conquer women’s hearts. The cocktail is pretty strong, but when did super spy 007 stop it?

But in the movie “Casino Royale” Bond drinks “Vesper”, named after his on-screen lover. This isn’t the standard “vodka with martini”, it’s something more refined: double shot vodka, a six-pack of gin, and a French aperitif, Lillet Blanc, you can add lemon zest and mix with ice – already with a spoon!

5. “Milk plus”

Nobody can serve you this cocktail in any bar, as this wild thing from Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange” is nothing more than a mixture of drugs dissolved in milk. But the bartenders’ fantasies could not be quelled and they came up with their own recipe that did not contain prohibited ingredients. Sambuca, absinthe, two servings of Baileys, five milks are mixed in a shaker. Plus two teaspoons of sugar. So sweet and strong.

Two exotic bonuses

“The Boyarsky Family”

This cocktail is St. Known to all regulars of St. Petersburg bars. We take a piece of grenadine on top – vodka and a few drops of Tabasco sauce, which will neatly “lay” between the layers. We drink it in one gulp and picturesquely say, “A thousand demons, scoundrel!” Sometimes grenadine is changed to kahlua or cointreau – it is sometimes called “Boyarsky’s Hat”, then “Liza Boyarskaya”. But the classic “Boyarsky”, of course, cannot be compared with anything!

“Wild”

Perhaps this story is one of Moscow’s theatrical anecdotes. In the early 1950s, a cocktail bar opened on Gorky Street. The famous actor Alexei Denisovich Dikiy, who lived nearby, went there. He sat at the bar and asked the bartender:

— Can you cook according to my recipe?

The bartender nodded positively.

Then Alexei Denisovich … asked for a pint. The bartender brought
– Open a bottle of vodka and fill it halfway.

beer mug

Made. Exactly the same amount remained in half a liter.
“Now, carefully, knife by knife, finish the rest. Just be careful not to mix it up!

The bartender complied with this order.
Alexey Denisovich exhaled loudly – at once he emptied the mug to the bottom, tapped the bartender on the shoulder and said:
– Nice cocktail! Write the recipe – it’s called “Wild”!
