Inspired by a high-stakes yet humorous moment in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, And I’ll Catch You is a bold, chai-inspired cocktail blending Coconut Rum, Italicus, and spiced liqueurs with Angostura Bitters for a richly layered, dangerously delicious drink. (Recipe Below)
This highly-spirited cocktail combines Coconut Rum, Italian Liqueurs and Angostura Bitters to taste just like a masala chai. And I’ll Catch You named after the tense yet funny scene that only Mission Impossible’s Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner can deliver. Inspired by the plan to seize control of a satellite where Agent Brandt (the symbolic black sphere) must rely on on Agent Dunn to keep him from falling to certain death. Pulling from regional flavors of a masala chia, this cocktail combines Rum, Italicus and spiced liqueurs to make a dangerously delicious drink.
