The Academy Awards are this weekend marking Hollywood’s biggest night as well as the end of the award season. We’re looking forward to all the glitz and glam from some of our favorite stars like Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez as well as seeing who wins big at the end of the night. For this momentous evening, we want to celebrate like all the big stars with some deliciously refreshing cocktails that we’ll use to cheer on a fan favorite or commemorate with those that lost. Cheers [responsibly] to an Oscar-worthy night with these celebratory cocktails!
