Residents and tourists in Los Angeles looking to partake in the Awards Season allure can explore the following destinations in Beverly Hills:
The Club Bar at Peninsula Beverly Hills presents an exquisite creation, the Golden Sbagliato Cocktail: This tantalizing concoction blends Cocchi Americano, yellow chartreuse, and Moët & Chandon champagne (the official champagne of the Golden Globes). Adorned with a gold leaf garnish, reminiscent of the coveted statuettes, it exudes the opulence associated with the award season.
The Beverly Hilton’s scrumptious offering, the Beignets, delights with a filling of cream cheese and a topping of powdered sugar, mango chutney, peppered strawberry, pistachio crumbs, and strawberry sorbet – paying homage to the red carpet, while nodding to the accessories and embellishments favored by stars.
THE Blvd at The Beverly Wilshire introduces the Awards Season Croissant: Inspired by the film reel motif engraved on Oscars statuettes, this delicacy crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Riccardo Menicucci represents the intertwining of the Academy’s original five branches – actors, directors, producers, technicians, and writers. The croissant, filled with dulce de leche and almonds, is adorned with 24-carat gold, symbolizing the prestigious gold-plated statuette.
MR. CHOW tantalizes with the Ma Mignon and aka MR CHOW Cocktail: To honor the release of Michael Chow’s HBO documentary, this signature cocktail features a captivating blend of tequila, Aperol, elderflower syrup, fresh lemon juice, and Laurent Perrier Rosé champagne, accompanied by Ma Mignon – a marinated, thinly sliced filet crowned with a savory sauce.
Ocean Prime in Beverly Hills serves up the Red Carpet Carpaccio: The Beef Carpaccio, delicately cured in a bonito-infused soy sauce, is elegantly presented like the red carpet itself in the center of the plate. Adorned with lobster croutons, Kilo caviar, burnt blood orange, winter vegetables, and dressed with a yuzu-truffle vinaigrette, it is a true culinary masterpiece.
Tatel introduces the ‘Halle Berry’ Cocktail: A tribute to the award-winning actress’s unforgettable Oscars moment, this elaborate cocktail features muddled blueberries, expressed sage leaves, Casa Del Sol Añejo, Catalina Apero, citrus, house-made ‘habanero shrub,’ FeeBros ‘Fee Foam,’ and house-made agave nectar. Topped with atomized sprays of ‘Valdespino Contrabandista Amontillado’ dry sherry and garnished with skewered blueberries, sage leaves, and an edible flower, it’s a visual and flavorful delight.
Crustacean presents the Red Carpet Cocktail: Radiating a red-carpet glow, this celebratory concoction combines Cognac, champagne, and Doladira – a rhubarb apéritif with hints of plum, gentian, and rosemary.
The Hideaway tempts with the Pink Margarita: This chic rendition of the classic margarita draws inspiration from the widely acclaimed Barbie movie of the previous year and iconic styles of stars like Marilyn Monroe and Timothée Chalamet, blending floral notes, tequila, and refreshing citrus flavors.
