The 92nd Oscar nominees were announced on Monday and we saw stars from Margot Robbie to Leonardo DiCaprio and Florence Pugh all bag a nomination. However, the fun doesn't stop there as it has also been revealed what cocktails these stars will be sipping on during the official Oscars after-party, and even better, how to make them. There will be three Tequila Don Julio signature cocktails served at the Governor’s Ball, the Academy’s official post-Oscar celebration. These cocktails have been created by globally acclaimed bartender Charles Joy who has shared his expert recipes ahead of one of the most highly anticipated parties of the year, so now we can sip along at home like a true Oscar nominee.
