Ring in Award Season with Belvedere Cocktails

With award season upon us, it's like the holidays all over again! It started with The Golden Globes and we've got plenty more to look forward to in the coming months. As much as we'd all love to be on the red carpet with our favorite stars, realistically we will most likely be watching them with friends at viewing parties. The one thing you have over those golden hardware loving celebs? You're able to celebrate with red carpet approved cocktails the moment you turn on the TV watching pre-show coverage! What's better than hearing that? Oh yeah, if they're glamorous Belvedere cocktails!

Whether you're hosting a black tie viewing party or are just lounging on the couch with friends, here's two Belvedere cocktails fit for either occasion that any guest will love!
