Though most often remembered looking devilishly handsome in a tuxedo, Pierce Brosnan conveys a distinguished, sophisticated demeanor no matter what he’s wearing at the time.  If this classic guy is your type, try mixing up a timeless cocktail like the 007 Sidecar, featuring the smooth taste of Camus cognac.

This mysterious, tattooed actor is anything but predictable.  Fans of his effervescent personality may enjoy the intriguing taste of Lucid absinthe, the brand responsible for lifting the absinthe ban back in 2007.  Try Johnny’s Lucid Elixir which mixes Lucid absinthe, melon liqueur and grenadine for a shot as mystifying as Depp himself.

Few can resist this worldly, award-winning actor and social activist… and talk about an authentic guy!
If a well-traveled charmer like Pitt has your heart, take a trip and discover Russian Standard Vodka, the certified authentic Russian Vodka. We love to sip the Russian Standard Moscow Mule, a thirst-quenching libation featuring ginger beer, lime juice and Russia’s number one premium vodka, Russian Standard.   Better yet – serve it up in an authentic Copper Mug. Buy one at www.RussianStandardMoscowMule.com

Pour two ounces of Russian Standard Vodka over ice in a chilled Russian Standard copper mug or Collins glass.  Add 5 ounces of ginger beer and stir gently.  Garnish with a squeezed wedge of lime.
