One of the Disney movie experiences I loved the most was being in NYC and listening to Paul Rudd chat about his role in the Marvel movie Ant Man. Not only is Paul a very funny guy in real life, he was a delightful addition to the Marvel franchise and will be a great leader as that team transitions to the newer characters. Needless to say, I am delighted with the movie coming out on July 6th.

Ant-Man and Yellow Jacket Drinks

In honor of that film, we have created a drink for each of the main characters — you can choose who you wish to support. Add a shot of vodka and you no longer have a treat for the kiddos, but sweet for the adults.
