Movie Style Guy: Go to Hellboy
Posted by Robert Fure (robert@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 9, 2008
This is another difficult week for pulling style from movies. Never would I consider using Meet Dave as inspiration, so that’s out. Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, while enjoyable, gives us little to eminate other than perhaps wearing a cool pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, similar to the design of the RealD 3D glasses handed out. So that leaves us with Hellboy, and what can he offer us? Creative ways to start a fire? Lawsuit. Tips on bulking up to fight the minions of the elseworld? Eh. Stylish short haircuts for women, a la Liz Sherman (Selma Blair)? Sexy, but not for me.
So I’m doing what I always do when I find myself in a bit of a bind – hooking you up with a new, highly alcoholic drink to get you sloshed before, after, or during the flick! This one is a touch easier to work with! Hellboy plus booze equals red drink! Yessssss.
Hell Cocktail
Any cocktail claiming to be from hell needs a bit of a kick and it needs to get the job done right. Let’s do this. You’ll need:
- 2oz Vodka
- 1oz Gin
- 1oz Tequila
- 3oz Ginger Ale
- Grenadine to taste/color
Pour your liquor into a glass, top off with ginger ale, splash in the grenadine and give it a good mix. Hit it with an ice cube or three, toss in a cherry, and you’re good to go. A delicious red cocktail to get you prepped. Now, if you’re expecting a little something more out of a hell cocktail, you could try the following, but when you’re sick or dead, don’t blame me.
Hellman Cocktail
- 1/2oz Grain Alcohol
- 1oz Tequila
- 1 1/2oz Ginger Ale
- Splash Grenadine
Give all that a quick mix in a shallow glass or tall shooter and down it fast and infrequently. Grain Alcohol has a habit of invoking your desire to expel what you just consumed, burns the mouth, and can power the Russian MiG-25 Interceptor.
So use your Right Hand of Doom to guide a delicious red drink to your lips after hanging out with Hellboy and the rest of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and you’ll have one hell of a weekend.
