Simba - Pride Protector

(Pineapple Orange Tequila Sunrise)

Scrooge - Resourceful Miser

 (Scotch Millionaire)

In all honesty, a Billionaire cocktail would have been more appropriate for the richest duck in the world. However that requires one to make their own absinthe bitters which we weren't going to purchase ingredients for. Instead we went with the much more accessible Millionaire cocktail as a template. The Millionaire is traditionally made with bourbon, but as we're evoking Scrooge Mcduck in full tartan, it only seemed appropriate that we use a Scottish whisky instead.

Our spin on the Millionaire utilizes Dailuaine 16 year single malt as its base. We had first experienced this whisky on our honeymoon in Scotland, and it remains one of our go-to Speysides to this day. Every time we find ourselves in the UK, we make sure to pick up a bottle or two of Dailuaine as it's both expensive and a chore to find it stateside. This whisky is heavily sherried and contains notes of baking spices and orange making it perfect for this sweet but decadent drink.

Recipe

2 oz Dailuaine 16 year 
1/2 oz orange liqueur
1/3 oz grenadine
1/4 oz anise syrup
2 dashes orange bitters
3/4 oz lemon juice
1 egg white

Boil 1/3 cup of white sugar with equal parts water and 2 pieces of star anise and allow to cool to create anise syrup. Combine all the listed ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake to combine. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Beast - Tragic Hero

 (Classic Aviation)

Beauty and the Beast is one of our favorite Disney films, and it is objectively one of the best Disney movies of all time. The animation of the ballroom scene was revolutionary for its time, and it is the first film to feature a Disney Princess with (shocking) agency and self-sufficiency. Despite being a Floodborn card, Beast - Tragic Hero evokes an actual scene from the film. It represents a turning point for the Beast, as he watches Belle ride away to tend to her father after releasing her from her imprisonment. It is here that the character transitions from being her antagonistic captor to a heroic role through self-sacrifice and empathy.

What better way to depict this version of Beast than with a cloudy Aviation? Nestled in the snow, the violet tones evoke not just the Tragic Hero artwork but the character's general mood as he watches Belle depart for what he believes is the final time. the. A Luxardo cherry seated at the bottom of the drink evokes the iconic rose from the film as its petals fall away slowly in its glass case.

Recipe

2 oz Dry Gin
1/2 oz Luxardo liqueur
1/4 oz Creme de Violette
1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Luxardo Maraschino Cherries

Place a Luxardo Cherry at the bottom of a Nick and Nora or Coupe glass. Combine all liquid ingredients in a shaker and shake vigorously with ice. Double strain into the glass, being careful to avoid pouring directly over the cherry to not disturb the syrup around it. Garnish with a twist of lemon.
