The Best Golden Globes Party Drink Ideas

It's almost showtime, folks! The Golden Globes are nearly here, and that means it's time to put together your star-themed Golden Globes drinks for the fab viewing party you're throwing — you know, the best part of watching any awards show for those of legal drinking age. This Sunday, Jan. 8, at 5 p.m., the red carpet arrivals will begin to air on live TV and most of us will be glued to the screen with wonderment. And really, there's nothing better than having an excuse to invite your friends over to turn on the TV, eat, drink, be merry and critique red carpet clothing choices. Because let's be real, now that the holidays have simmered down, we're not ready to retire our party hats and champagne cravings.

And if you're going to put the effort into having a party, you might as well go all out and have a full-on thematic shebang. Or, get inspired by some delicious drink recipes by your favorite foodies and mixologists. Feel free to go crazy with puns and rename them as you please, a la, Leo's Tears, the salt-rimmed margarita, or Finally! Meryl, the tequila shot.

Browse these recipes and make your own drink menu — your guests will thank you. Happy stargazing!
