Ready to toast the award winners, or the fact that Seth McFarlane isn’t hosting? Good, us too. That’s why Grey Goose invented these cocktails inspired by nominated films. The Cosmonaut is evocative of Gravity, Lower East Side hearkens to Inside Llewyn Davis and American Hustle, and the Le Fizz is all about winning. You don’t have to make them with Grey Goose, but if you’re going to bust out the ginger liqueur, why wouldn’t you spring for the top shelf?
