French 75
Placing your bets on “Midnight in Paris” for Best Picture? Frenchify your libations with this classic cocktail recipe, famously served at the Hemingway Bar at the Ritz Paris.
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 ounces gin
3 ounces plus 1 tablespoon chilled champagne candied orange or lemon peel for garnish
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into flutes (or, alternatively, serve over ice in a lowball glass). Top off with champagne and add garnish.

Blockbuster Basics
- Even if you watch in real time, record.
- Buy extra ice — it goes fast.
- Set up a watching area that won't block TV views when guests get up.
Give your Oscar party the red carpet treatment (even when your carpeting is not, in fact, red). To turn a TV-watching affair into an all-out gala, all you need is some good, old-fashioned glamour.
3 Tips For Rave Reviews
1. Bring back Old Hollywood with vintage glassware. Champagne glasses have their place, of course, but great art direction will come from serving cocktails in ‘60s lowball glasses. In setting up your bar, keep bottles chilled in classy glass ice buckets, or opt to house spirits in classic decanters.
2. Make sweet memories. Opt for a dessert-only snack spread (aka, everyone’s dream) with artisanal chocolates or cake pops (fun, no clean-up required).
3. Keep the entertainment flowing. It’ll take all night to figure out who wins your Oscar pool—instead, challenge guests with trivia games during the commercials.
