Every month we celebrate The Greatest Films of All Time with our specially curated series introduced by film historian John Sittig. We’re making the series even more celebratory with our signature cocktails, expertly paired with each film by our team of cinema and cocktail experts. Join us the second Sunday every month at Reading Cinemas Cal Oaks and check out our selection of specialty cocktails, along with your favorite classics.

Here’s an inside look into our cocktail pairings:

April 14: THE APARTMENT, paired with Stardust

To match the shimmering 1960s office filled with parties and affairs, we paired this enamoring love story with our sparkling cocktail, Stardust. Just like these high-rise office execs, this sweet rush of fizzy blueberry and cooling mint leaves, within a sparkling wine and gin-based beverage is the height of luxury and mystique.

May 12: BRINGING UP BABY, paired with Pomegranate Escape

Enjoy the best screwball comedy of all time with Golden Age legends Katharine Hepburn and Carrie Grant, starring alongside a tiger. We paired this hysterical mishmash of mayhem with our balanced cocktail, the pomegranate escape. Just as Bringing Up Baby was made as an escape from the Great Depression, this balanced drink allows you to escape to a simpler time with its just-right blend of sweet pomegranate, gin, a hint of lemon & simple syrup.

June 9: THE GODFATHER, paired with Brand New Day

Experience the legendary crime saga focused on a power-hungry family fighting for a better tomorrow. We paired this suspenseful Academy Award winning classic with our signature cocktail, Brand New Day. This balanced mix of gin and cucumber embodies the fresh outlook felt on the night of a daughter’s wedding, while a zesty splash of lime and ginger liquor mirror the foreboding tension of warfare within a family business. Like THE GODFATHER, this crisp gin cocktail is truly an offer you can’t refuse.

July 14: THE GRADUATE, paired with Bitter Seduction

This 1960s movie milestone features existential crisis, irresistible seduction, and an ethereal soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel, making it a perfect match for our classic cocktail, The Bitter Seduction. Like Benjamin’s mix of conflicting emotions and existential dread, this muddled mix of vodka, orange liquor and orange bitters will put you under a spell.

August 11: THE SEARCHERS, paired with Seeking Stoic

Sit back and ponder the wonders of this warm, rustic bourbon-based blend, featuring notes of ginger, lemon and fresh rosemary, while enjoying the great outdoors as John Wayne embarks on an adventure to find his niece.

September 8: LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, paired with Campari Sunset

Experience this beautifully filmed odyssey with a cocktail as vibrant as the landscapes of the Middle East, The Campari Sunset. This sweet, refreshing grown-up Hawaiian punch is made with orange, Campari and sparkling wine, creating a beautiful array of colors that match the stunning cinematography on screen.

October 13: THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE, paired with Rebel with a Cause

Enjoy Humphrey Bogart’s Award-winning performance as a rebel in search of gold, while sipping on your own Rebel with a Cause cocktail. Garnished with chili powder, this angsty blend of passion-fruit and tequila packs enough punch to dig up emotional gold on this quest for wealth.

November 10: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, paired with Steely Blues

Merging the realities of battle with an incredible human story, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN reveals the harsh imagery of World War II through action-packed sequences and stunning performances by an all-star cast. To compliment this compelling drama, sip on a Steely Blues cocktail. Featuring whispers of lavender, this understated drink; made with gin, a hint of lemon, lavender liquor, matches the somber tones of this Oscar-winning film that solidified Stephen Spielberg’s directing career.

December 8: SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN, paired with a 5,6,7,8

Put on your tap dancing shoes and join us for one of the best movie musicals of all time, starring dance legend Gene Kelly. Celebrate these iconic dance numbers with a 5,6,7,8! This vibrant mixture of passion fruit punch, shaken with vanilla vodka is so sweet you’ll be doing jazz hands.
