The Occasion: Oscars Night, baby!

Everyone wants to party with the Little Gold Men. I cannot say if that particular Hollywood Dream™ is going to come through for you or not, but I do know that your viewing pleasure will be enhanced with one of these Little Gold Cocktails.  Make it two and you’ll need to start practicing your acceptance speech.

Why This Works: Mix and match your citrus based on what’s available and what you like.

Our House Bar Chef Ilise whipped up this elevated version of the classic daiquiri using freshly squeezed juices from Meyer lemons and pink grapefruits.

The Playlist: Today’s playlist features the nominees in the Best Song category for this year’s Oscars. 
The Verdict: This cocktail wins ALL the awards! Tart and tasty, refreshing, and most quaffable. Be careful, it goes down so easily you might get a surprise when you stand up.
