I was inspired to make this cocktail after rewatching Practical Magic, with the sequel in theaters right now.  Our Movies and Munchies group chose these movies for this month. You could watch one or both.  

If you haven't seen this movie, it premiered back in 1998. It follows the Owens women, a family of witches, and the trials and tribulations that come with it.  Sally Owens and her sister, Gillian, are orphaned and sent to live with "The Aunts".  There, they learn they come from a long line of witches and discover the powers within them.  

Sally has children of her own and moves from The Aunts in order to raise them as a "normal family" after her husband dies due to a curse on the Owen's women that makes loving tragic.  The first film has a lot of drinking and dancing.  I haven't seen the sequel yet.  

Gillian finds herself involved in a relationship with a dastardly man who becomes very abusive. He kidnaps the sisters, and Sally spikes his bottle of tequila with belladonna, hoping to render him unconscious but accidentally killing him.

If for no other reason, watch this film just to see Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock in their early years.
