If you’re getting ready for the biggest movie awards night of the year tomorrow, we’ve already given you some Oscars-themed cocktails to try. But for those of you who are cheering on Wicked in particular, we’ve got some fun color coordinated drinks to celebrate the surprising musical smash of the year.

These drinks from Mezcal Unión come in the signature green or pink shades of Elphaba and Galinda, making use of matcha powder and Peychaud Bitters to give a colorful twist to these tasty concoctions. There’s a twist on a traditional Margarita using mezcal in place of tequila, and a take on the Clover Club which uses mezcal rather than gin. Cheers to Wicked‘s 10 Oscar nominations!
