Lights, Camera, Cocktails is a new movie and mixology series presented by ArcLight Cinemas that brings together fans of film and craft cocktails.

Each month, top mixologists are paired with their favorite movie to create a three-drink menu using the film for inspiration.

At each Lights, Camera, Cocktails event, guests enjoy a pre-screening cocktail in ArcLight Cinema's modern-designed café bar. The evening’s guest bartender will be on hand to meet and mingle with guests before they head over to the theater to pick up complimentary popcorn and their second movie-inspired cocktail to enjoy while watching the featured film. Following the screening, guests are invited back to the café for a wrap party to discuss the film and savor their third craft cocktail.

The series kicks off September 20 with The Dead Rabbit’s Harrison Ginsberg. Ginsberg’s film choice Sin City echoes the graphic novel style of The Dead Rabbit drink menu, which features innovative drinks that have earned them the honor of being voted the Best Bar in the World by The World's 50 Best Bars, a voting body comprised on industry peers. Ginsberg first honed his craft in Chicago working at The Dawson where he placed in numerous industry competitions before leaving the Windy City.

The limited series, curated by The Dogma Group, is sponsored by Pernod Ricard and will feature select brands Jameson Caskmates, Lot 40, Plymouth Gin, Absolut, and Absolut Elyx.
