Okay, so maybe you will need more than one night for all of these films, but that just means you’ll get plenty of practice making one of the cocktails below!

If you scored 19 points or less then the cocktail for you is a:

Martini

Suave and sophisticated yet punchy, bold and sharp, this is the perfect cocktail to partner with the likes of Bond, Shrek, The Man With No Name from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and the witty overtures of Notting Hill and Monty Python. From citrus-forward Breakfast Martinis to olive-strewn Dirty Martinis, a Martini it must be!

If you scored between 20 points and 30 points then you should make yourself a:

Gin Punch

These fruity and sweet easy-to-make and easy-to-drink cocktails are perfect for pairing with salty cinema treats like nachos and popcorn. Make up a big batch and keep it in the fridge so that you can keep topping up as Indiana Jones runs by or you enter peoples dreams with Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception. Perhaps you will even make one that matches the pink colour scheme of the Grand Budapest Hotel. This pink gin, peach and prosecco punch is one of our favourites, give it a try!

If you scored 31 or above then you need to try a:

Martinez

This magnificent tipple is what you get when you take a classic Manhattan and swap the whisky for gin. It’s deep and rich and has amazing cherry notes. It’s perfect for traversing Hollywood’s Americana-filled wonders like Jaws, The Big Lebowski, Heat and The Goonies! You can learn how to make this delectable cocktail, here.

If you’re a film fan and a gin fan then you need to try our gin-soaked versions of Hollywood’s most famous drinks orders.

Plan a movie marathon and we'll pick the perfect cocktail for you!
