It’s time to elevate your “Netflix and Chill” with these reimagined cult film cocktails.
Roll out the red carpet, dim the lights and pass the popcorn—Wildbrumby Butterscotch Schnapps is taking the starring role in our latest movie-night cocktail collection.
Smooth, rich and wonderfully nostalgic, Butterscotch Schnapps is right at home beside a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. So, before we revisit some of the most memorable drinks from film and television, and explore a few cheeky Wildbrumby reinventions, the evening begins with two indulgent butterscotch creations made for settling into the best seat in the house.
Movie Night
Popcorn, brown butter, chocolate and butterscotch come together in a cocktail that tastes almost as good as putting on your favourite old movie.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Butterscotch Schnapps
• 30 ml brown-butter-washed vodka
• 2 dashes chocolate bitters
• Freshly popped popcorn
To Make It:
Add the Butterscotch Schnapps, brown-butter-washed vodka and chocolate bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir until well chilled, then strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Garnish with popcorn.
Brown-butter-washed vodka
Brown approximately 50 g of unsalted butter in a saucepan until golden and nutty. Allow it to cool slightly, then combine it with 500 ml vodka in a sealed container.
Leave it to infuse for around two hours, then place it in the freezer overnight. Once the butter has solidified, remove it and strain the vodka through a coffee filter before using.
Curtain Call
Silky, creamy and just a little decadent, the Curtain Call is the perfect final act—or a delicious way to begin the show.
Ingredients:
• 45 ml Wildbrumby Butterscotch Schnapps
• 15 ml Wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
• 30 ml cream
• Chocolate or cocoa powder
To Make It:
Add the Butterscotch Schnapps, vodka and cream to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously, then fine-strain into a chilled coupe glass. Finish with a light dusting of chocolate powder.
Cocktail: Limoncello Spritzer
Tom Cruise made bartending look like an action sport in Cocktail, complete with flying bottles, tropical bars and plenty of 1980s flair.
Our movie pairing is much easier to recreate at home. No bottle juggling required.
Ingredients:
• 45 45 ml Wildbrumby Limoncello
• 90 ml Wildbrumby Brut (okay…or Prosecco…)
• 30 ml soda water
• Ice
• Lemon wheel or twist
To Make It:
Fill a large wine glass with ice. Add the Limoncello, followed by the Prosecco and soda water. Stir gently and garnish with lemon.
FRESH. FIZZY. FILM-WORTHY.
James Bond: Alpine Vesper
No movie cocktail list would be complete without 007. Bond may request his Martini “shaken, not stirred,” but our Alpine Vesper gives the classic a distinctly Snowy Mountains twist.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Classic Gin
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Apricot Schnapps
• Orange twist
To Make It:
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until icy cold, then fine-strain into a chilled Martini or coupe glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
COLD. CRISP. CLASSIFIED.
Casablanca: Tom Collins
Rick’s Café Américain remains one of cinema’s most famous fictional bars. For Casablanca, we are pairing its old Hollywood atmosphere with a timeless Tom Collins.
Ingredients:
• 45 ml Wildbrumby Classic Gin
• 25 ml fresh lemon juice
• 15 ml sugar syrup
• Soda water
• Ice
• Lemon wheel
To Make It:
Add the gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup to a tall glass filled with ice. Stir, top with soda water and garnish with lemon.
For an even simpler classic, settle in with a Wildbrumby Gin and Tonic.
CLASSIC. COOL. TIMELESS.
Sex and the City: Pink Lady Cosmopolitan
Few drinks are as closely connected to a screen favourite as the Cosmopolitan is to Sex and the City. Our version replaces the traditional orange liqueur with Pink Lady Apple Schnapps, creating a crisp Australian twist on Carrie Bradshaw’s signature pink cocktail.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
• 20 ml Wildbrumby Pink Lady Apple Schnapps
• 30 ml cranberry juice
• 15 ml fresh lime juice
• Orange twist
To Make It:
Shake all ingredients vigorously with ice. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe or Martini glass and garnish with an orange twist…
CHIC. PINK. ICONIC.
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: Peach Bellini
Bold, colourful and unmistakably Australian, Priscilla calls for something sparkling, joyful and ready to celebrate.
Ingredients:
• 20 ml Wildbrumby Peach Schnapps
• 90 ml wildbrumby Sparkling Brut
• Peach slice
To Make It:
Add the Peach Schnapps to a chilled flute or wine glass. Slowly top with wildbrumby Sparkling Brut stir gently and garnish with a peach slice.
For a group screening, celebrate Priscilla with a colourful Wildbrumby schnapps flight. Choose three contrasting flavours, pour them into tasting glasses and let every guest discover their favourite.
BOLD. BUBBLY. FABULOUS.
The Big Lebowski: The Big White Russian
Few movie cocktails have achieved true cult status quite like the White Russian. In The Big Lebowski, it is less a drink and more a way of life—creamy, uncomplicated and enjoyed with an impressively relaxed attitude.
Our Big White Russian gives the bowling-alley classic a Wildbrumby twist, combining smooth Kosciuszko Vodka with rich Wildbrumby Coffee Liqueur and a generous splash of cream.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Coffee Liqueur
• 30 ml cream
• Ice
To Make It:
Fill a rocks glass with ice. Add the vodka and Coffee Liqueur, then slowly pour the cream over the top. Leave the layers swirling for a dramatic finish, or stir gently before drinking.
No cocktail shaker, complicated garnish or dress code required. A comfortable cardigan, a bowling lane and a very laid-back approach to movie night are entirely optional.
CREAMY. COOL. CULT.
Breakfast at Wildbrumby’s: Morning After Martini
Big-city glamour, oversized sunglasses, pearls and a cocktail before lunch—our Morning After Martini brings a coffee-liqueur twist to classic breakfast elegance.
Ingredients:
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Kosciuszko Vodka
• 30 ml Wildbrumby Coffee Liqueur
• 30 ml freshly brewed espresso
• Ice
To Make It:
Add the vodka, Coffee Liqueur and fresh espresso to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously to create a rich crema, then fine-strain into a chilled coupe or Martini glass. Garnish with three coffee beans.
Best served alongside strong coffee, a warm croissant and nowhere urgent to be.
CHIC. BRIGHT. ICONIC.
