Last week, we gave some themed food ideas for the upcoming 85th Annual Oscar Awards (on Sunday February 25th) party you will be hosting at your home. Today, courtesy of our friends at Patron Tequila, and Ultimat Vodka, here are some exclusive drinks that will be served at the Governor’s Ball and the pre-show. These two drinks were created by world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck and Cheryl Cecchetto of Sequoia Productions.
The Patron Gold Cosmopolitan
1 ½ oz. Patron Silver Tequila
½ oz. Patron Citronge Orange Liqueur
2 oz. Organic Blackberry Juice
1 oz. Fresh Orange Juice
Fresh Blackberry Garnish
10 Carat Gold Rim
-In order to rim your glass for the same opulent effect, you may use edible gold glitter or foil both available at local craft and candy decorating stores. Simply fill a shallow dish with water or some Patron and dip the rim of the glass in, then apply the gold. This step must be done before pouring the drink in. Combine all the liquid ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake and strain out into the opulent glass. Garnish with the Blackberry.
The Ultimat Blue Sunrise
1 ½ oz. Ultimat Vodka
½ oz. Patron Citronge Orange Liqueur
2 oz. Fresh Blueberry Juice
1 oz. Fresh Mango Juice
Blueberry for Garnish
Silver sugar rim
-Much like The Patron Gold Cosmopolitan, you can rim the glass with edible silver foil or glitter for the pop of sparkle. Combine all the liquid ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into the silvery glass. Drop a couple of fresh blueberries for garnish.
