10 Classic Films and the Drinks They’d Be

Close-Up Culture pair 10 cinematic masterpieces with a drink that matches their true energy.


1. Casablanca – French 75

Elegant, classic, and packs a massive punch you don’t see coming until it’s too late.

2. Breakfast at Tiffany’s – Champagne

Glamorous, frivolous and completely inappropriate before 10am.

3. 2001: A Space Odyssey – Tap Water

Minimalist, clinical and somehow so brilliant it’s capable of making you question the nature of existence.

4. Some Like It Hot – Tequila Sunrise

Bright, glamorous and just a little bit chaotic.

5. Taxi Driver – Red Bull & Vodka

It’s 2am, you’re still wide awake and you’re beginning to pose in the mirror and make some questionable decisions.

6. Vertigo – Negroni

Beautiful, sophisticated and increasingly bitter the longer you sit with it.

7. The Graduate – Tequila Shot
One bad decision leads to another. Then suddenly you’re running down a church aisle.

8. Goodfellas – Peroni

Italian-American swagger, questionable decisions and absolutely no intention of having just one.

9. Mulholland Drive – Absinthe

Green, beautiful, intoxicating and you’re never entirely sure what’s real.

10. A Clockwork Orange – Milk

Innocent-looking, but actually deeply unsettling and absolutely not what you’d expect to be drinking.
