Mango Chinola
Country: Dominican Republic
ABV: 42 proof/21%
Brand: Chinola
Spirits Type: Liqueurs/Cordials/Schnapps
Taste: Fruit, Floral, Mango muskiness
Price Category: $
Thick, silky texture that delivers an explosion of sweet, juicy mango. The sweetness is beautifully balanced by a tangy, tart backbone (thanks to the added passion fruit), alongside nuanced hints of vanilla, turmeric, and faint grassy or spicy undertones.

Teremana Reposado Tequila
Country: Mexico
ABV: 80 proof/40%
Brand: Siete Bucks Spirits
Spirits Type: Tequila NOM 1613
Taste: Vanilla, Agave, Oak
Price Category: $
Made from Jalisco region Blue Weber Highlands Agave. This small batch tequila is aged in American whiskey barrels producing oak and vanilla notes in this citrusy, smooth tequila with a slight char.
-
Blood Orange Juice
0.5% - 1.2% Acidity
Our preference is fresh pressed, but pure blood orange juice is widely available in the market. Blood orange juice is sweeter and less acidic than standard orange juice and has a light floral taste with berry undertones. Cara Cara oranges can be used as a substitute.
-
Hot Honey
41% Brix
Easy to make at home, hot honey syrup is a great way to add the flavor of heat that is already balanced by a floral sweetness.
4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Honey
4 oz (120 mL/113.5 g) Water
1 Tbs (3 g) Red Pepper Flakes
Pinch Salt
In a saucepan, combine Honey, Water, Red Pepper Flakes and Salt. Place on medium low heat and stir to combine. Allow to come to a slight boil and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Fine strain into a syrup container. Store in a cool, dark place
-
Saline
Salt/Saline is a great flavor booster. It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail. It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid.
A pinch of salt can be added to the cocktail, but for consistency, saline is easy to make and allows more control.
To Make It:
2 oz (60mL) Distilled or Purified Water
1 Tbsp (15g) Fine Sea Salt
Combine in a jar and shake vigorously. Once salt is dissolved, pour into a dropper bottle.
-

Price Category:
Awards: Medal at 1873 Vienna World's Fair
Flavored with several herbs and spices provided a concentration of pie-spice flavors brought out by the bitterness made with gentian root. The caramel color is an additive.
-
Black Sphere
Adds more visual "drama" than flavor unless you take your time with the drink, then you will enjoy additional light floral notes.

2 oz (60mL) Sweetener of choice
4 oz (120mL) Fresh Lemon Juice

Terminator 2 Cocktails: Two Futuristic Drinks Inspired by Liquid Metal, Molten Steel, and Judgment Day
Come with us if you want to drink as Boozy Movies travels through time to celebrate James Cameron's groundbreaking science-fiction action masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) with two original cocktails inspired by the chilling precision of the T-1000, the evolving humanity of the T-800, and one of cinema's most unforgettable finales. First up is The T-1000, a shimmering liquid metal cocktail inspired by the classic Mind Eraser, combining Rumple Minze peppermint schnapps, Hpnotiq, coffee liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, and soda water to create a refreshing mint chocolate chip flavor, complete with swirling edible silver shimmer and a chocolate Terminator microchip garnish. Next, Hasta La Vista brings the heat with a fiery mango margarita featuring reposado tequila, mango Chinola liqueur, blood orange juice, and hot honey, finished with a split Tajín and gunmetal sugar rim that delivers two distinct flavor experiences and a dramatic red-eye garnish inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic cybernetic protector. Along the way, we explore the surprisingly emotional father-son relationship between John Connor and the Terminator, celebrate the revolutionary CGI that brought Robert Patrick's shape-shifting villain to life, and examine the intriguing storytelling parallels between Terminator 2 and Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. Whether you're hosting a science-fiction movie marathon, planning a futuristic cocktail party, or searching for creative liquid metal drinks, mint chocolate cocktails, and spicy mango margarita recipes, discover how these two imaginative creations capture the groundbreaking technology, explosive action, and unexpected humanity of Terminator 2: Judgment Day—because these cocktails are so good, you'll definitely be back!
