The best way to celebrate Oscar week in Los Angeles? With some Oscar-inspired cocktails courtesy of mixologist master Julian Cox! This bartender to the stars has created an inventive libation menu at Fanny’s, the restaurant at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures from restaurateurs Bill Chait and Carl Schuster, with support by philanthropist Wendy Stark. Named after Fanny Brice — the legendary movie, vaudeville, theater, and radio star portrayed by Barbara Streisand in her Oscar®-winning role as Funny Girl (1968) — the striking two-story, 10,000 square foot space, conceptualized by the late architect Osvaldo Maiozzi, features a chef-designed open kitchen, elegant bar, and captain-based service style that nods to a bygone era.

And now, the cocktails. It’s truly hard to pick just one! But they’re only available until Oscar Sunday, so you better get there quick! Check out the award-worthy libations below!
