Fresh off Monday’s nominations announcement, Moët & Chandon — the official champagne of the Golden Globes for more than 25 years — has unveiled the official cocktail of the ceremony, The Moët Diamond, created exclusively by actress, model and lifestyle expert Olivia Culpo. As no celebration is complete without champagne, check out the cocktail that will be served to the stars, at the Beverly Hilton.

Celebrating its 26th year as the official champagne, Moët has become a Globes viewing party staple, as fans include Leo, George Clooney, Chrissy Teigen, Katy Perry, Heidi Klum, and Emily Blunt, to name a few.

THE INSPIRATION: The Moët Diamond is Olivia Culpo’s take on the classic champagne cocktail, paying homage to the elegance and style that is Golden Globes, with a playful twist. Elevating each of the classic champagne cocktail’s ingredients—traditionally champagne, bitters, sugar cube, and sometimes cognac—Culpo selected cherry bitters, to give a hint of fruit; rock candy sticks as a garnish, to add a touch of sweetness; and orange liqueur to balance the sweetness and round out the elegant flavor profile. With a nod to Culpo’s love of red carpet fashion, and the standout diamond looks that have graced carpets in years past such as Elizabeth Taylor’s diamond tiara, The Moët Diamond is the perfect blend of honoring old Hollywood while embracing awards show glam.
