7. GIN LIQUEUR; $52

Firebox

Sometimes people's love for unicorns is less than pure, as evidenced by Firebox's popular gin liqueur called "Unicorn Tears." The magical—yet arguably inhumane—concoction comes with little bits of silver that make the bottle look like a snow globe when you shake it. The sparkly drink will be perfect for clinking glasses with fellow villainous drinkers. At 80 proof, you're likely to forget all about the poor unicorns whose tears were harvested for your shimmery drink.
