Baby we were born to run! The anticipation for Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the new Bruce Springsteen biopic starring Jeremy Allen White, has us craving a strong, smoky cocktail. The Boss Cocktail is simply Bruce Springsteen in a glass. It has a rich depth due to the dark rum and smokey mezcal. Then, it hits you with notes of spicy smoked heirloom chile bitters and a washing of smooth Luxardo. The sugar and salt rim is the perfect finish here since it showcases both the tough and sweet sides to this incredible icon.
When Does Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere Release in Theaters?
If you’re like us and you’re waiting on the edge of your seat for this Springsteen biopic, then you’ll want to head to theaters on October 24. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is not just a retelling of this musicians career story. Instead, it takes directly from Warren Zanes’ book that focuses on making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 Nebraska album. His book uses real life accounts from Bruce Springsteen himself as well as others close to him as he records this album by himself and for himself. Even though it’s not the popular Born in the U.S.A, Nebraska is essential in the story of Springsteen and the development of country music.
