The 60s were wild man

The 1960s were a fun time to be in a movie. It was a time when Hollywood was being creative and unique with sense of humor and play on words. I love to rewatch old movies from the 60s to see the evolution of gender roles, sexual situations, and conversations. Inspired by a few of my favorites, I have created a couple of cocktails to enjoy. I think you'll like them!
