Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise)

In the same barman-poet speech, Brian name-checks the Kamikaze.

“I make drinks so sweet and snazzy, the Iced Tea...the Kamikazi!”

Amaretto Sour — Amaretto and lemon shaken with egg white into a foamy, almond-sweet sour.
Aviation — Gin and lemon sweetened with maraschino, with a spoonful of crème de violette for its pale sky color and floral edge.
Bee’s Knees — Gin softened with honey and brightened with lemon and orange. A gentle, rounded sour.
Between the Sheets — Cognac and white rum with triple sec and lemon: a Sidecar with a second spirit. Strong and orange-scented.
Bourbon Renewal — A bourbon sour with crème de cassis and a dash of bitters, shaken and poured over ice: tart, dark-fruited and easy.
Bramble — A gin sour over crushed ice with blackberry liqueur drizzled through it, bleeding purple as it sinks.
