Cocktail Glasses Three cocktail recipes with a Oscar/Film link -

Bullshot

1 ½ shots Vodka
1 tablespoon beef bouillon
4 drops Tabasco sauce
4 drops Worcestershire sauce
½ shot Lime Juice
1 pinch celery salt
1 pinch black pepper

Pour ingredients into an ice-filled glass and stir. Down in one! A hangover cure apparently. Made famous by Noel Coward, the quintessential 20th century Englishman who was nominated for an Oscar in 1942 for Best Picture In Which We Serve

Cowboy Martini

3 shots Gin
½ shot sugar syrup
8 fresh mint leaves
4 drops orange bitters

Shake ingredients with ice so that the mint is broken up by the vigorous motion. Strain into a martini glass. Obviously in praise of those Broken backed Cowboys nominated for several categories including Best Picture.

Corpse Reviver

1 ½ shots cognac
1 shot Calvados
1 shot Red vermouth

Stir ingredients with ice and strain into a martini class. Garnish with a twist of orange. In support of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride nominated for best animation.
