253 - Cocktail & the Turquoise Blue
from Drink the Movies · host Brian and Michaela
This week we’re flipping bottles, sliding across the bar, and leaning into the high-octane neon cheese of the 1988 classic, Cocktail! We’re joining Brian Flanagan and Doug Coughlin as they master the art of flair bartending and chase the "Organization Man" dream from the Upper East Side to the beaches of Jamaica. We'll discuss Tom Cruise's megawatt grin, the legendary "Coughlin’s Law," and whether this movie is a cautionary tale or just a two-hour music video for "Kokomo."To celebrate the film that practically invented the "celebrity bartender" trope, we’re shaking up a drink that looks exactly like a tropical vacation in a glass: The Turquoise Blue. This vibrant, island-inspired cocktail captures the 80s aesthetic perfectly with its stunning ocean hue.So, grab your tins, practice your behind-the-back tosses (at your own risk), and get ready to raise a glass to the film that made us all want to open a bar called Cocktails & Dreams: Cocktail!Merch ShopPatreonInstagramBlueskyFacebookhttps://www.drinkthemovies.comYouTubeDiscord*Please Drink Responsibly*
