Fall is just around the corner, and even Alexandria's weather is beginning to shift. What better way to embrace the new season than with a cozy fall movie night? I’ve seen a fun trend on TikTok where guests host movie marathons, each choosing a film and bringing a drink that complements the movie's ambiance. For instance, pairing a classic James Bond movie with a Vodka Martini, “shaken, not stirred.” Below, you'll find some inspiration for hosting your own movie marathon with creative drink pairings or ideas to make your next fall movie night more exciting.
