New cocktails shake up Oscar night

For those on the wagon, “The Thespian” blends agave, lime and mango syrup.

Mixologist Charles Joly, who created the menu with Eric Van Beek, told AFP the drinks were a celebration.

“We’re celebrating actors, were celebrating directors, we’re celebrating cinema,” he said.

The drinks, which were crafted specially for Hollywood’s biggest evening, begin with a simple idea, said Joly.

“What’s important this year? What do we want to kind of get through to people? And it’s the flavors of Mexico. It’s highlighting the tequilas,” he said.

Stars will also be able to help themselves to Lallier champagne, which is making its debut at the party this year.

And for those rare celebs who are not on a diet, there will be all manner of sumptuous offerings from top-notch Austrian chef Wolfgang Puck, whose Spago restaurant in Los Angeles is very much a place to be seen.
