Scott Pilgrim

After the final battle, Scott retreats to the bar and quickly orders two gin and tonics, though he admits to Ramona that he doesn't drink.

Alabama Slammer — Amaretto, Southern Comfort and sloe gin stirred over ice with a splash of lemon: sweet, fruity and nutty, a college-bar favorite.
Bloody Mary — Vodka, tomato and lemon, seasoned to taste with Worcestershire, Tabasco, celery salt and pepper. Savory and spicy.
Blue Lagoon — Vodka, blue curaçao and lime topped with lemon-lime soda: electric blue, sweet-tart and fizzy.
Cuba Libre — Rum and cola with lime, which is the difference between this and a plain rum and Coke.
Dark ’n’ Stormy — Ginger beer with dark rum floated on top. Spicy, sweet and moody.
Fernandito — Fernet-Branca and cola over ice. Bitter, minty and easier to drink than it sounds.
