The Great Gatsby (early 1900's) - The 'Gin Rickey', drank by Tom in the 1925 novel.
The cocktail entails a simple mixture of gin, lime juice and soda and is still savoured by Gatsby fanatics and those who enjoy the simplicity of the mixture.














Additionally, distinguished cinematic cocktails are not only originated from the movies themselves, but have been created based on the aesthetic or colour theme of our favourite movies.
In fact the most recent mixture of drinks have been inspired by one of the latest infatuations, the Barbie movie. 
The movie opened opportunities for endless brands and product ideas, cocktails included. Various drinks were concocted in honour of the movie, made to reveal a vibrant, Barbie pink colour. This craze generated vast excitement, enjoyed by those before viewing the movie, after and perhaps by those who avoided the movie and just wanted to enjoy a sweet pink drink! The release of the Barbie film undoubtedly was an exciting time for bars and mixologists, providing a gateway for endless creativity and taste tests.

Last, but definitely not least, the renowned blockbuster films, 'Star wars' is responsible for an iconic cocktail creation, depicting the fictional character from The Mandalorian, 'Baby Yoda'.
