“I invented like four or five cocktails during the time.
“Here’s the thing,” he added.
“I am not a cocktail expert by any stretch of the imagination.

My expertise is so limited.
I want everybody to enjoy this.
I want to bring back cocktail culture.
Check out the recipes below.
The story behind it is this:
And thus the Squeaky Door was invented.
So here it is, my boozy ode to my tipsy wife, for your bartending enjoyment.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… the Squeaky Door!
Shake and strain into an ice-filled Tom Collins glass.
Top with club soda and garnish with a cherry and a lemon twist.
The perfect way to grease your squeaky wheel!

TheBridesmaidsCocktails
Yes, I directedBridesmaids.
I’m very proud of the film and am thrilled with its enduring popularity.
We had tons of fun making it, and it ended up doing very well at the box office.
And it definitely saved my career.
I followed that up with a family Christmas film calledUnaccompanied Minorsthat had also cratered at the box office.
It was very depressing because all I’ve ever wanted to do in life is make movies.
But all I really wanted to do was make movies.
And the rest is history.
I created three drinks for the event, which we made during breaks in the watch-along.
Beyond that, I just think they’re really good drinks.
But you be the judge.
Mix up one or all of theseand hold on for one more day!
Cake Baby Spritz
1 ounce cranberry juice
FILLa wineglass with ice and add the gin and cranberry juice.
Top with club soda.
Let them drink cake!
Shake until cold, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Drop in a cherry.
Stir until the syrup is dissolved.
Add the heavy cream and ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until the drink is very cold.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Henry Golding!
Henry’s Honey Plum G&T
Henry Golding is the nicest man in the world.
He’s kind, patient, funny, fun, and a great friend.
He’s also an amazing actor.
But we never really made any mixed drinks.
I really love that this drink brings together his British and Asian sensibilities.
So mix one up and have a Golding good time!
Fill the glass with ice and stir in the rest of the ingredients.
It’s plum good!
