Signature Cocktails
Silver Screen Cocktails can prepare the classics you know and love, but these original creations are where the story truly comes to life. Each signature cocktail is inspired by a memorable film, character, or moment from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Perfectly Flawed
Inspired by Double Indemnity (1944)
Rye Whiskey · Dry Vermouth · Sweet Vermouth · Amaro Montenegro · Cardamom Bitters · Coffee Bitters
Rye whiskey and equal parts dry and sweet vermouth create a nod to the classic Perfect Cocktail—just as Phyllis believed her crime was perfect. Amaro Montenegro, cardamom, and coffee bitters slowly reveal a darker, more complex finish.
Signor Ferrari
Inspired by Sydney Greenstreet’s character in Casablanca (1942)
Cognac · Amontillado Sherry · Dry Vermouth · Demerara Syrup · Orange Blossom Water · Absinthe
Cognac, Amontillado sherry, and dry vermouth evoke Ferrari’s worldly sophistication, while demerara, orange blossom, and orange bitters add warmth and intrigue. A whisper of absinthe provides the mysterious edge befitting Casablanca’s most calculating proprietor.
6 Months from Now
Inspired by An Affair to Remember (1957)
London Dry Gin · Lillet Blanc · Pear Liqueur · Lemon Juice · Honey Syrup · Champagne
London Dry Gin and Champagne capture the elegance and romance of Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr’s transatlantic journey, while pear and Lillet Blanc add a soft, sophisticated sweetness. Fresh lemon provides balance, creating a bright, delicate cocktail worthy of a promised rendezvous in six months.
The Last Elderberry
Inspired by Arsenic and Old Lace (1944)
Gin · Elderberry Liqueur · Génépy · Fig Syrup · Lemon Juice
Elderberry liqueur and gin offer a deceptively sweet opening, while génépy adds herbal complexity and fig syrup brings an earthy richness inspired by the Brewster sisters’ curious basement “Panama Canal.” Fresh lemon keeps this darkly playful cocktail bright and balanced.
Elizabeth Lane
Inspired by Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
Bourbon · Pear Liqueur · Apple Cider · Cinnamon Syrup · Walnut Bitters
Bourbon and apple cider create a warm, distinctly American foundation, while pear liqueur adds a soft fruitiness that complements the apple without overpowering it. Cinnamon syrup and a touch of allspice dram bring the comforting warmth of holiday baking, while walnut bitters add a subtle roasted depth. Inspired by Elizabeth Lane’s idyllic—and not entirely authentic—Connecticut farmhouse, this elegant cocktail is a taste of the perfect Christmas she promised to create.
