The Suicide Squad is a group of villains forced to do hero work, which is exactly the moral ambiguity that makes for great cocktail branding. This collection leans into that grey area: drinks you shouldn’t order that you’re going to order anyway.

Inside: Harley Quinn Harlequin (red-and-blue layered, with whipped cream swirled in for the jester energy), Deadshot’s Precision Pour (bourbon, three dashes of bitters exactly), Amanda Waller’s Whisky (neat, no nonsense, slightly terrifying), Joker’s Henchman Punch (batch cocktail for a whole squad), King Shark Pool Cocktail (blue curaçao, rum, way too many garnishes), Peacemaker’s Dove (white wine spritz , ironically peaceful), and Polka-Dot Man’s Skittles Shot (layered colour-by-colour).
