While most of the classic cocktails may be well-known to booze lovers, they have actually come into the picture through pop culture i.e. films and TV shows.
Made with vodka, triple sec, fresh lime juice and cranberry juice, this is the most favourite drink of Carrie Bradshaw throughout Sex And The City’s six seasons.
The ingredients of this cocktail with a rich history are often linked to the bittersweet romance Casablanca. Named after a French artillery gun from WW1, it has remained a classic.
If you recall James Bond’s “Shaken, not Stirred” reference every time someone offers you a vodka martini, you have been a pop culture lover and won’t have your martini any other way.
Popularised as a hangover cure for the morning-after, this tomato, tobacco and beer concoction became a rage from Byran Brown’s character in Tom Cruise’s 1988 film, Cocktail.
While this cocktail existed even before Marilyn Monroe’s, Some Like It Hot, it was the hot water blend of whisky, bitters and vermouth in the film that made it the iconic Manhattan.
This orange juice, vodka and rum milkshake-like cocktail was first seen in the comedy film The Blue Brothers in the 1980s and the character ordering it had improvised while shooting.
