Playroom launches new cocktails inspired by movies
To welcome the upcoming festive season, Playroom, the speakeasy in Ekamai celebrates its second anniversary with the launch of “Playroom Chapter 3”, a new cocktails line-up inspired by nine famous movies. The new cocktails embody aspects of popular scenes from the movies, famous leading characters and the memorable story.
♦ Say hello to “Steve”, a bourbon and whiskey-based cocktail which takes inspiration from American Pie in which Steve’s mother has sex with his friend. Age is just a number, after all!
♦ The “Girl Next Door” is a gin-based cocktail inspired by What’s Your Number, a story about a woman who looks back at the 19 men she’s had relationships with and wonders if one of them might be her true love. We’ve all been there and done that!
♦ In 2022 no one cares if you’re a “Virgin or Not”, but a rum-base cocktail is definitely worth sipping on. Inspired by Wedding Crashers, a story about two guys who love crashing weddings to pick up women.
♦ “Let’s Do It” — get festive with a vodka cocktail inspired by 21 & Over where Jeff and his friends head out for drinks to celebrate his 21st birthday the night before a medical school interview. Ket us know if your night goes the same way as his!
♦ Get your “Game On” with tequila, inspired by Superbad. High school seniors Seth and Evan, hoping to have sex before college, try to score booze for a huge party, which leads to a series of wild misadventures.
♦ “White Lies” is another gin-base cocktail and is inspired by Brokeback Mountain, a story about two shepherds Ennis and Jack who develop a sexual and emotional relationship, in which it becomes even more complicated when both of them get married to their respective girlfriends.
♦ Don’t bite into but sip on the “Forbidden Fruit”, a bourbon cocktail inspired by the famous Thai movie Jan Dara. A Thai erotic-period drama where Jan’s grandmother finds out that Jan’s father got Jan’s aunt pregnant so she tries to shoot him only to have him retort: “That gun is old so come to play with my gun.”
♦ “Read My Lips” when I say the gin cocktail is inspired by The Girl Next Door where a high school senior thinks he has found the woman of his dreams in his new neighbour.
♦ You’ll be at Playroom drinking tequila “All Night”, inspired by Sex Tape, where the couple record one of their lovemaking sessions in an attempt to add some spice back into their married life.
