OSCAR COCKTAILS for The Academy Awards



Watching the Academy Awards is a tradition in my house. I haven't missed a broadcast in nearly 40 years and I don't plan on missing this year's Oscars either. I usually gather together a group of friends and we watch together, dissing the Red Carpet couture, rooting for our favorite movies and actors, and drinking lots of cocktails.

For your Oscar Party I've put together a list of great cocktails to make your Academy Awards night celebration memorable.
