How To Make 12 Iconic Movie Drinks

Hollywood and booze have been synonymous for a long time.

So it's no surprise that many iconic beverages gained prominence in our bars and restaurants thanks to the silver screen.

From cult movies to blockbusters, many films' secret stars are really the cocktails consumed by overpaid actors.

We picked out 12 famous adult beverages to grace some of the best movies in history.
