What it means to be a red wine mom

Ah, the wine mom. You may know her from "The Good Wife." Or as Skyler White, the wife of Walter White in "Breaking Bad." What these female characters have in common, along with being mothers, is the wine glass frequently in their hands or omnipresent by their sides. Wine is their constant companion. Often, their only one.

There is so much drinking in "Bad Moms" and "A Bad Moms Christmas," a series of films about overworked and unappreciated mothers, that the franchise has spawned signature cocktail recipes. Multiple ones. The demands of parenthood, marriage, careers and the general overwhelm of the world push the moms in these movies to the breaking point. And the breaking point involves alcohol. A lot of free-flowing alcohol.
