I love a good cocktail moment. When I watch a movie and I really love the characters, I look at what they drink. The choice in drinks tell you a lot about characters. It can be a way for characters to relax or show their emotions. With romance movies, cocktails and wine can be a sign of not only who the characters are but also how they are feeling and how the relationship is progressing. This usually extremely true when looking at the female heroines. Inspired by some of my favorite movies and heroines, I've included a few cocktails fo you to try at your next movie night.
