Movie buffs and connoisseurs of at-home lounging know that when it comes to movie night, choosing the perfect cocktail and medley of snacks is nearly as important as the movie itself. Some might argue that it’s more important, but that’s a debate for another day. If browsing the limitless options on Netflix, Hulu and the plethora of other streaming sites has left you stumped, Taffer’s Mixologist (a line of fresh, mixologist-approved mixers) has crafted a handful of cocktails that can be paired with a specific movie or television show. So, grab your movie night-approved snacks and get to mixing.
