The bubbly will flow freely at this Sunday’s Golden Globes, but it’s not just about the 1,500 Moët & Chandon Imperial minis and 125 cases of Moët & Chandon 2004 Grand Vintage Brut and Rosé magnums. A-list attendees at the Beverly Hilton will also get to taste Champagne cocktails created by Elettra Wiedemann.
The Moët Sunset Starlet, which was previewed at an event Monday morning, features Lillet, dry Curacao, and orange bitters topped with Moët Chandon Rosé Imperial. It’s a refreshing drink with a mellow citrus flavor up front, an elegant cocktail that Wiedemann says was inspired by clementines being in season all over New York. The Moët Bijou Rouge, meanwhile, is a blend of gin, Carpano, Luxardo, dram bitters, and Moët & Chandon Imperial.
Luckily, the Moët Sunset Starlet is something that you can recreate at home without enlisting the help of a pro bartender. Here’s Wiedemann’s recipe:
