Oscar Night Cocktails

 

Are you getting ready for the Oscars? I know that I’m really looking forward to seeing wins Best Picture. There are so many great nominees this year including: Armour, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook and Zero Dark Thirty.

I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty. I hope to watch Argo and Silver Linings Playbook before the award ceremony. I think that Lincoln might win this category, but there is some tough competition so I’m not sure who will win. Regardless of who wins or who looses I’ll be sharing some cocktails with my girlfriends while we watch the award ceremony unfold.

The margarita and mojito sound so tasty and I think they’ll end up staying on my cocktail list. They look like the perfect cocktail for the pool side or sitting outside during a hot summer night just enjoying summer.
