The Red Sonja
 
 
Red Sonja was a fantasy/thriller action movie in the 80s starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (back in his beefy he-man days!) The heroine was Sonja, a fiery redheaded warrior. This drink, too, is bright red and spicy, with Jalapeno and ginger, plus a slight bitterness of Byrhh Quinquina, which is a little bit like a vermouth." Fun fact: Gretchen's nickname in middle school was Red Sonja!
