And the nominees are…!
In anticipation of the red hot red carpet this Sunday, Goodtaste got together with several of our go-to mixologists from the Houston hospitality scene to concoct a cocktail, inspired by their favorite film nominated at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 2, 2014 (7e|4p).
Needless to say, with so many amazing films from the past year, we savored every last drop of their creative creations…
These recipes can be a lot of fun to whip together for any festive viewing parties! And the winners are:
