With the 72nd Annual Golden Globes Awards happening this Sunday, where Hollywood’s elite will flock to the Beverly Hilton for film and television’s most festive celebration of awards season. One of our favorite brands, Moet & Chandon, will be the official Champagne of the ceremony. The Champagne house has enlisted supermodel and culinary enthusiast Elettra Wiedemann to create the official cocktail, the Moet Bijou Rouge, to be served at the Golden Globes.
In case you didn’t know, Elettra is the daughter of award-winning actress Isabella Rossellini. Elettra has lent her culinary expertise to Vogue.com and Food & Wine. Her Moet-infused cocktail merges her dedication to simplicity with her impeccable good taste, making it perfect for Hollywood’s most fun and glamorous awards night.
Elettra’s Moet Bijou Rouge uses Moet & Chandon Imperial, the official Champagne of the awards, and will be served throughout the celebration at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday evening. You can also feel like you’re a part of Hollywood’s magical night by mixing up the cocktail at home.
