If you love movies, actors, and all things Hollywood, then this time of year is an exciting one as awards season gets underway. If you’re planning any viewing parties for the season with friends, then it’s fun to mix up some special drinks that reflect the glitz and glamor of the awards.

While Scotch might not be the first spirit you think of when it comes to mixing cocktails, single malt brand Glenfiddich is encouraging drinkers to try out its offerings mixed into special drinks for the season. You’ll find drinks using the always popular sparkles of Champagne, a gorgeous blackcurrant daiquiri, and a take on the beloved Manhattan, all of which are perfect special celebrations to toast this time of year.
