Emmy Awards & Cocktails

by Michele on September 3rd, 2010 |

Cocktails, Sparkling

The 62nd Annual Emmy Awards were held on Sunday night.  Perhaps you were one of the viewers who wanted to watch every moment.  Perhaps you didn’t watch the show but looked for results on Monday.  Perhaps you didn’t care (or even know) about the show.  Regardless to which category you belong, there is something about the Emmys that may be able to unite everyone- cocktails!

These cocktail recipes were inspired by none other than the actresses who graced the red carpet.  Just as those women were beautiful, so are these drinks.  A combination of sweetness and elegance creates drinks that are the perfect beverage for a warm summer night.  As you make and enjoy these drinks, see if you can decide which dress each cocktail was created to match!
