LOS ANGELES — Stars at Sunday's 71st Golden Globes will be sipping on the award show's first-ever official cocktail. Below, we have the ingredients for it so you can drink it, too.
Dubbed the Moët Golden Night and created by celebrity chef Aida Mollenkamp, the drink includes Moët Imperial, cardamom syrup, and pear brandy. It's garnished with a pear slice.
The cocktail will be served in the Golden Globes lounge, which Mashable scoped out:
Inside the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, attendees will be served Moët & Chandon Imperial (1,500 mini bottles), Moët & Chandon 2004 Grand Vintage (125 cases) and Moët & Chandon Imperial Rose (150 bottles).
How to Make the Moët Golden Night
Preparation:
Makes: 6 cocktails
Total time: 25 minutes
Hands-on time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
1/4 cup unrefined granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
20 whole cardamom pods, crushed using the back of a knife or a mortar and pestle
1/4 cup pear brandy
1 (750 ml) chilled Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut Champagne
2 small ripe Forelle or Seckel pears, for garnish
Instructions:
"Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan, stir to dissolve the sugar, add the crushed cardamom pods and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer the simple syrup for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to steep and cool for 20 minutes. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the simple syrup, discard the seeds and pods, and place the simple syrup into a liquid measuring cup.
Add the pear brandy and stir to combine. (The pear-cardamom simple syrup mixture can be made up to 2 days ahead and the Asian pears can be peeled up to 2 hours ahead.) Just before serving, cut the pear off the core and slice pear lengthwise into 1/8-inch thick slices. (Separate slices into stacks of three and spread slightly to make a fan. If cutting slices ahead of serving time, coat them with a little lemon juice to prevent them from browning.)
To serve, add 1/2 ounce of the pear-cardamom simple syrup mixture to 6 white wine glasses (this makes enough syrup for 8 cocktails). Add 4 ounces of chilled Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut Champagne to each glass, filling each glass about halfway. Garnish each glass with three pieces of fanned pear slices and serve."
