Let’s just admit it. We’ve all had that moment in the bar when we’re imagining we are on the big screen, or living the lives of one of our favorite movie characters. Diving back into the classics, there are TONS of great movie references from classics that can make us all feel like fat cats and leaders of industry.

Today we have a list of Five amazing classics films, the main characters, and their corresponding cocktail order to give you a bit of inspiration for your drinking this week. Of course, all cocktails can be found at your local Revolucion, where you can come in Monday through Friday to sit back, enjoy, and daydream yourself into your favorite character!  

JAMES BOND - Vodka Martini

It’s hard to think of a better known on-screen cocktail reference than that line:

“shaken, not stirred”

and preferably uttered in a Scottish brogue. The bond between movie and drink runs so deep, it’s become practically impossible to order a Vodka Martini without subconsciously channeling your inner Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. 

CASINO ROYALE (2006) - Vesper

For some, casting Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play James Bond was controversial (a blond Bond, how dare they?!). 

When it comes to cocktails, however, Craig went straight to the text: In the 2006 blockbuster “Casino Royale,” he orders a Vesper Martini — 

“Three measures of Gordon’s; one of vodka; half a measure of Kina Lillet” 

— a cocktail invented by Fleming in the 1953 novel of the same name. In the film, when Craig-as-Bond is asked if he’d like a Vodka Martini shaken or stirred, he irritably replies：

“Does it look like I give a damn?”

MAD MEN (1960) - Old Fashioned

If you deem a crystal whiskey decanter to be an attractive and practical desktop accessory, you’re likely a fan of the ‘60s-based TV drama “Mad Men.” 

Drinking is a central theme in the lives of the show’s fictional, high-profile Madison Avenue advertising executives. None more so than lead character Don Draper, whose favorite cocktail  “the Old Fashioned" had disappeared into relative oblivion when the show first aired in 2007. 

A little over 10 years later, and driven by the success of the binge-worthy drama, the Old Fashioned can arguably be described as the most successful cocktail of the past decade.

CASABLANCA (1942) - French 75

Even though the majority of the action in this Hollywood classic takes place in the multipurpose nightclub, casino, and “gin-joint,” Rick’s Café Americain, we actually only witness the preparation of two cocktails in the entire film. 

One is a non-specific “Champagne cocktail.” The other is the now-legendary French 75, a boozy World War I-era concoction said to hit you with the full force of a 75-millimeter French artillery gun.

THE BLUES BROTHERS (1980) - Orange Whip

Like many of the cocktails, the Orange Whip enjoyed a resurgence in popularity hot off of its big-screen cameo. In the 1980s musical-comedy “The Blues Brothers,” Jake Candy’s character orders three of the rum-and-vodka-based, sweet, frothy cocktails, declaring: 

“Who wants an Orange Whip? 

Orange Whip? Orange Whip?

Three Orange Whips!” 

The line has gone on to receive numerous popular culture references.
