AMOUR—Catatonic
1 oz. Adult Chocolate Milk™
1 oz. creme de menthe
6 oz. hot chocolate
1 oz. whipped cream

ARGO—Canadian Embassy
2 oz. The Original Moonshine®
1/2 oz. maple syrup
Slice of orange
Dash of bitters
Measure maple syrup into a glass. Add ice and pour in The Original Moonshine® slowly, stirring to ensure that you properly combine it with the syrup. Add a splash of bitters. Rub an orange slice around the inside of a rocks glass, add fresh ice, and strain The Original Moonshine® mixture into the rocks glass. Garnish with orange and serve.
BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD—The Bathtub
1 oz. The Original Moonshine®
1/2 oz. of triple sec
7 dashes of rum-based bitters

DJANGO UNCHAINED—The D is Silent
1.5 oz. LICOR 43® Liqueur
1/2 oz. pomegranate juice
3/4 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 oz. ginger beer
Add all ingredients but the ginger beer to a cocktail shaker full of ice; shake and strain into a cocktail glass, then add the ginger beer. You can also serve this drink in a highball glass over ice by instead adding pomegranate juice, LICOR 43® Liqueur, and lime juice to an ice-filled glass; stirring for 30 seconds. Add the ginger beer and stir once more. The over-ice version stays cooler longer, but as the ice melts the smoky flavor will be less distinct.
