These pair perfectly with your favorite films.
Matt Landes, founder of Cocktail Academy, suggests pairing this quintessentially NYC rom-rom with a Calvados Spritz — a combo of apple brandy (a nod to the Big Apple) and sparkling wine that's both effervescent and comforting, just like the main characters' relationship.

For this '80s classic, Landes recommends mixing up a Rose Cocktail: gin, rose influencer Lillet Blanc, and grapefruit liquor garnished with rose petals. "Like Andie, the drink is bold and ambitious. The color is also strikingly reminiscent of the prom dress [she] wears at the end of the film.”

Landes' Lady in Red — tequila, lemon, and hibiscus raspberry syrup coated in raspberry dust — is the cocktail version of Roberts' iconic red dress. "[It's] visually vivid and show-stopping, yet each sip is layered with different flavors from sweet and floral to the herbal spiciness of the tequila."

The only thing as notoriously synonymous with Seattle as this film is the city's coffee culture, which is why Alex Lacroix, co-founder of Siempre Tequila, suggests spiking your favorite Starbucks beverage with a shot of the brand's Reposado.

Inspired by the "love fern" in this flick, the mixologists at Lillet suggest an herbaceous combination of two parts Lillet blanc , one part cynar, 3/4 part lemon juice, and fresh mint leaves, shaken and served on the rocks.
