cats eyes / 1985 thriller movie
Cat’s Eye (also known as Stephen King’s Cat’s Eye) is a 1985 American anthology horror thriller film directed by Lewis Teague and written by Stephen King. It comprises three stories: “Quitters, Inc.“, “The Ledge“, and “General”. The first two are adaptations of short stories in King’s 1978 Night Shift collection, and the third is unique to the film. The cast includes Drew Barrymore, James Woods, Alan King, Robert Hays and Candy Clark. The three stories are connected by the presence of a traveling cat and Barrymore, both of whom play incidental roles in the first two and major characters in the third.

In German, an aperitif is often called an “Aperitif.” Popular German aperitifs include Kirschwasser (a clear cherry brandy), and herbal liqueurs like Jägermeister and Underberg. Anna Famosa, a peach and rose flavored liqueur, is also gaining popularity as a German aperitif.
For an aperitif to complement German canapes, consider a crisp white wine, a refreshing spritzer with a German liqueur like Jägermeister, or a classic Kir Royale. The Mixer US suggests the Kir Royale, a Champagne cocktail with cherry liqueur, as a good option. If you prefer something non-alcoholic, a sparkling water with a splash of fruit juice or a non-alcoholic German beer like Radler could also be suitable.
Aperitif Options:
Kir Royale:A Champagne cocktail with cherry liqueur. This pairing offers a touch of sweetness and fruitiness that complements the often savory nature of canapes.
(We got some Cherry liqueur just need the champagne or Prosecco.)
Kirschwasser, or kirsch, is a clear, colorless brandy traditionally made from the double distillation of morello cherries, a dark-colored cultivar of the sour cherry. To make a Kirsch Royale, add 0.5 oz kirsch and 1 oz cherry syrup to a Champagne flute. Top off with 3 oz of Champagne or Prosecco, garnish with a maraschino cherry if desired, and serve.
Description
Smooth, warming and bursting with intense cherry flavours, this fruity liqueur is as good poured over ice and sipped on its own as it is used in classic cocktails, like a Singapore Sling. Its sweet, tangy flavour works a treat in desserts, too – try adding a splash to fruit crumbles.

(Will let you know how we do as usual)
Aperol Spritz:This Italian aperitif is a popular choice due to its refreshing citrus and bitter flavors.
German Liqueur Spritzer:Mix a German liqueur like Jägermeister or Killepitsch with sparkling water or tonic water for a unique and flavorful aperitif.
Crisp White Wine:German Riesling or other dry white wines are excellent choices for complementing canapes, offering acidity and fruitiness.

Radler:A German beer mixed with lemonade, offering a refreshing and lighter alternative.
Non-Alcoholic Options:Sparkling water with fruit juice or a non-alcoholic German beer are also good options for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
Tips for Choosing:
Consider the ingredients of the canapes when choosing an aperitif. For example, a spicier canape might pair well with a bolder spirit like Jägermeister, while a more delicate canape might be better paired with a lighter white wine or sparkling beverage.
Don’t be afraid to experiment! The best aperitif is the one that you and your guests enjoy the most.
