Baltimore Mud Pie - a thick, velvety, naughty creation dripping with chocolate sauce inspired by the filthiest woman ever, Divine.
Sponge Queen - a yellow and green layered cocktail inspired by one of Monet X Change's most memorable looks, the sponge dress.
PB and Slay - a candy-sweet concoction inspired by the Willy Wonka for a whole generation of drag queens, RuPaul.
Drunk in Love - a divalicious drink inspired by Cara Melle that is sweet, salty, and sticky if you're nasty!
Absolutely Alien - a fabulous twist on a classic Gin and Lemonade that is as blue and pink as Juno Birch.

Plus many more cocktails inspired by legendary queens such as: Danny La Rue, Delta Work, Hungry, Joe Black, Lawrence Chaney, Manila Luzon, Meatball, Peppermint, Shea Coulee, Jinkx Monsoon, Raja Gemini, The Vivienne, Adam All, Bianca del Rio, Biqtch Puddin', Blue Hydrangea, The Boulet Brothers, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Coco Peru, Victoria Scone, Detox, Cherry Valentine, Laganja Estranja, Tayce, Katya, Lily Savage, BenDeLaCreme, Courtney Act, Landon Cider, Ginny Lemon, Pangina Heals, Priyanka, Adore Delano, Cheddar Gorgeous, Chi Chi Devayne, Choriza May, Creme Fatale, Envy Peru, Lady Red Couture, Hot Chocolate, Liquorice Black, Miss Toto, Nicky Doll, Bimini Bon Boulash, Alexis Saint-Pete.
