And I’ll Catch You - 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.

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.

Ghost Protocol Goes Down Smooth: Sandstorms, Spy Games, and Cocktails With Maximum Impact
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol plays like a panic attack dressed in a tuxedo — all vertigo, velocity, and exploding glass — with Tom Cruise sprinting across the globe as Ethan Hunt tries to stop nuclear annihilation while somehow still finding time to hang off the side of the Burj Khalifa like gravity is merely a suggestion. The movie’s cocktail counterparts lean just as recklessly into the chaos, beginning with “The Sandstorm,” a spirit-forward collision of rye, smoky mezcal, and a tingling buzz-button liqueur that hits like Dubai disappearing behind a wall of dust as Hunt barrels toward disaster at full speed. Its counterpart, “And I’ll Catch You,” swaps adrenaline for sly charm, channeling Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner’s perfectly timed panic with a deceptively smooth blend of coconut rum, Italicus, chai-inspired spice liqueurs, and bitters that drinks like a masala chai after one too many impossible decisions. Much like Ghost Protocol itself, the cocktails balance absurd stakes with razor-sharp humor, where every near-fatal fall, gadget malfunction, and government betrayal somehow lands with enough style to make catastrophe look cool. By the time Hunt limps away bruised, disavowed, and victorious, you realize Mission: Impossible isn’t really about saving the world — it’s about watching impossibly attractive people survive total chaos through caffeine, blind confidence, and maximum commitment to the bit.
