In the cultural wasteland of suburban Illinois, two intellectually underfunded rock enthusiasts, Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, become unlikely celebrities by broadcasting a public-access television show from a basement that apparently doubles as a hazardous waste site for bad furniture. When a sleazy television executive discovers their show, he does what any self-respecting corporate parasite would do: attempts to turn their gloriously stupid hobby into a gloriously profitable stupid hobby. Meanwhile, Wayne falls for Cassandra, a talented rock singer who somehow overlooks his questionable wardrobe, nonexistent career prospects, and tendency to address invisible movie audiences. Between headbanging to Queen, dodging product placements, and exposing the entertainment industry's remarkable ability to ruin absolutely everything, our heroes discover that selling out is considerably less excellent than it sounds. Packed with fourth-wall-breaking nonsense, spectacularly ridiculous catchphrases, and enough shaggy hair to clog a municipal sewer system, Wayne's World proves that you don't need brains, money, or a coherent life plan to become a cultural phenomenon—just a basement, a camera, and the ability to yell "Party on!"
We couldn’t resist in making two cocktails directly inspired by the libations that Garth orders throughout the movie. First, Schwing! a jelly donut Inspired cocktail based in an even mix of raspberry vodka and real pineapple liqueur. For the pastry, the cocktail is topped with a foamed wheat beer made sweet and a little nutty with hazelnut liqueur. It is definitely testing very high on the drinkability scale! Schwing! Our second cocktail is the party punchbowl cocktail Garth orders in a preemptive celebration for expanding their public access show to primetime sponsors. Party On! is a literal combination of everything blue in the liqueur store, and it’s equal parts, so you can get to the party without the drag of measurement or reading a queue card. Ready to share with everyone on the couch - Party ON!
