Cocktails in Film

​I have been collecting cocktails in film since the 1980s.

The relationship between cinema and drinking culture goes back almost to the beginning of film itself, but it took on new glamour in the early 1930s.
After all, Hollywood has always understood that a well-timed drink can be as important to a scene as a well-timed close-up.

Even in the silent era, drinking scenes were common—especially in Charlie Chaplin films. During Prohibition, filmmakers often avoided the issue by setting drinking scenes in countries where alcohol remained legal.
1916 The Rink  
🍿 ROLL THE CLIP →  
Charlie Chaplin shows off some surprisingly impressive cocktail flair—pouring from two bottles at once, long-pouring what appears to be bitters, and tossing and catching his shaker tin. Then comes the actual shake. Chaplin starts flapping his arms like he's doing the chicken dance while somehow keeping the shaker almost perfectly still. He shakes everything except the cocktail.

1917 The Adventurer  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP →  

Charlie Chaplin proves there’s more than one way to make a Highball—even if his way would horrify a bartender. 😂

A waiter brings Chaplin a tray with a bottle of brown liquor, a soda siphon, and a dainty little cocktail glass. Chaplin studies the setup, then ignores the obvious plan. Instead, he squirts the soda directly into the liquor bottle, essentially making his Highball right inside the bottle.

And the little glass? He finds another use for that: an ashtray for his cigar.

More than a century later, the scene is still a perfect example of Chaplin’s visual comedy: give him all the proper tools to make a drink, and watch him use every single one of them wrong.

1921 The Idle Class  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP →  
Charlie Chaplin turns cocktail shaking into a brilliant visual gag. From behind, Chaplin appears to be overcome with emotion, his shoulders heaving as he stares at a photograph of his wife and reads the note she has left behind. It looks as though he's sobbing.

Then he turns around.


He's not crying at all—he's shaking a cocktail. 😂
 

The simple misdirection is classic Chaplin: without saying a word, he lets the audience assume one thing, then reveals something completely different. More than a century later, the cocktail shake still delivers the punchline.

The Thin Man  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP →  
Knickerbocker, Martini, Manhattan, and Bronx.
 

Retired detective Nick Charles knows his cocktails—and apparently believes the bartenders at New York’s elegant Normandie Hotel could use a lesson.
 

While shaking his own Martini behind the bar, Nick explains that the secret is rhythm: “With a Manhattan you shake to fox-trot time. A Bronx to two-step time. A dry Martini you always shake to waltz time.”

Later, Nick meets up with his wife, Nora, who asks the inevitable question: “How many drinks have you had?” As a waiter arrives with two more Martinis, Nick casually replies, “This will make six Martinis.”

Nora doesn't scold him. She simply turns to the waiter and says, “All right. Will you bring me five more Martinis, Leo, and line them up right here.”
 

And that tells you just about everything you need to know about Nick and Nora Charles. 🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸

Flaming Rum Punch and Mulled Wine.
In this unforgettable scene, George (James Stewart) confidently orders a double Bourbon from Nick, the owner/bartender, setting the stage for a classic cocktail moment. Meanwhile, with an air of celestial sophistication, Clarence the Angel (Henry Travers) initially opts for a Flaming Rum Punch. Still, he later shifts to a Mulled Wine with a generous dash of cinnamon. The charm of this cinematic gem extends beyond its time, prompting us to ponder the intriguing choice of libations in the 1650s, as revealed by the whimsical detail of Clarence's 293-year existence.

Father of the Bride  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP →  

I ❤️ this one! The cocktails mentioned are Martinis, Old Fashioneds, Tom Collins, Mint Juleps, Frozen Daiquiris, Scotch, Bourbon & Waters, and Rum & Cokes.
 

Cocktail hour turns into cocktail chaos in this hilarious scene starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. Before the guests arrive for his daughter Kay’s engagement announcement party, Stanley Banks confidently makes a big batch of Martinis, telling his wife, “That’s all what everybody drinks at these things, ya know, Martinis.” He fills an entire tray, ready to pass them around the moment the doorbell rings. There’s just one problem: everyone wants something else.

Soon Stanley is trapped in the kitchen
juggling orders for Old Fashioneds, Tom Collinses, Mint Juleps, Bourbon & Waters, Frozen Daiquiris, and Rum & Cokes—while that beautiful tray of Martinis waits for somebody, anybody, to drink one.

 

It’s not only a great comedy scene; it’s a wonderful snapshot of 1950s home cocktail culture, when hosting a party could turn the man of the house into an unwilling bartender.

1955

The Seven Year Itch  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP → 
I ❤️ this one! Gin martinis. Whiskey sours are mentioned.

Marilyn Monroe turns a Martini into one of the funniest cocktail scenes in the film simply because she has absolutely no idea what a Martini is.
 

When Richard asks what she'd like to drink, she starts with gin and soda, realizes that doesn't sound right, and asks him how people drink gin. He explains that gin and vermouth make a Martini. That sounds good to her, so she orders one—“a big, tall one.”

Richard obliges, pouring what looks like an alarming amount of gin into an enormous glass and proudly presenting her with her “big, tall Martini.” She takes a sip, likes it, but thinks it could use a little more sugar. Richard strongly advises against that. She seems puzzled and tells him that back home in Denver, they put sugar in Martinis.

Auntie Mame  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP → 

I ❤️ this one! 

Ten-year-old Patrick Dennis may be one of the youngest cocktail instructors in movie history—and he certainly knows his Martinis.

When Mr. Babcock visits, Patrick politely offers him a drink:

PATRICK: “Would you care for a Martini, Mr. Babcock? Dry or extra dry? ... I’ll make them like I do for Mr. Woolcott. Stir, never shake. Bruises the gin. Would you care for an olive? Auntie Mame says olives take up too much room in such a little glass.”
 

Naturally, Auntie Mame walks in at exactly the right moment and turns the situation around on Mr. Babcock:

AUNTIE MAME: “I wonder if it makes the best first impression on a sensitive young mind... to see you drinking during business hours.”
 

As a flustered Mr. Babcock tries to explain that Patrick made the Martini, Mame cuts him off with the perfect defense:

“Mr. Babcock! Knowledge is power!”

 

Cocktails continue throughout the film, with Sidecars, Martinis, and Mint Juleps.

 

Upson Daiquiri & The Flaming Mame (Fictional cocktails)  🍿 ROLL THE CLIP → 
 

Jan Handzlik performed the scene as 12-year-old Patrick. Handzlik had already played Patrick opposite Rosalind Russell in the Broadway production of Auntie Mame before reprising the role for the 1958 film. Jan later became an attorney in Los Angeles.
I first had the pleasure of speaking with him in 2009, and in 2022 he visited me at the Bourbon O Bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. In December 2023, we even enjoyed an evening together at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles—a pretty wonderful full-circle ending to a cocktail scene I had been fascinated with for years.
