The world of Wes Anderson is a colorful, quirky one—and apparently the team at Paste Magazine thinks that it would be pretty tasty too, since this series of film cocktails takes cues from some of his movies. 'The Cocktails of Wes Anderson' called for San Diego mixologists to create Anderson-inspired drinks, sourcing from titles like 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox' as well as some of Anderson's newer work like 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.'
True to the director's style, the cocktails are visually appealing. If you're wondering how to make the perfect 'Madame D' or 'Stop Motion' drinks, Past Magazine has generously shared each of the recipes so that you can whip up some fun thematic drinks the next time you watch a Wes Anderson movie.
