The Official Golden Globes Cocktail: The Moet Golden Night CocktailAida Mollenkamp. There is a place in my imagination where I’m BFFs with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
We workout together and lament other chicks with their crazy juice cleanses and perfect bodies, we drive around LA and yell “REALLY?!?” At bad drivers, and, in our most vulnerable moments, we show each other our most hideous school pictures while eating late-night avocado-cheddar grilled cheese. And we meet regularly for happy hour, with me mixing up the drinks, like this bubbly sipper, The Moet Golden Night. This year I got to work with Moët & Chandon and I created the first-ever Golden Globes cocktail. In order to keep it golden (you know, like the Globes) and to make it elegant enough to be served at the big night, I came up with this combination of cardamom syrup, pear brandy, and bubbles.
The Cueva Ruso Cocktail. As part of our fundraiser for SkepchickCON, I auctioned off three original cocktails.
