A martini is already a cool drink to sit back and enjoy but knowing that it’s George Takei’s go-to imbibement somehow makes it even better.
The bartending experts at New York’s American Bartenders School have compiled a list of 80 celebrities and their favorite drinks — culled from interviews — so anyone can drink like their favorite star.
Some of the choices are obvious, such as Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Skull Vodka — a drink brand which he co-created. Others can be quelled from paying close attention to the person’s work, like Jay Z’s designated drink Armand de Brignac, a champagne brand that was spotted in one of his music videos.
Jennifer Lawrence’s selection is a classic: piña colada. In 2013, the Academy Award-winning actress told David Letterman she was sipping the cocktail in her trailer while shooting “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” in Hawaii.
PINA COLADA
1 ounce light rum
1 ounce cream of coconut syrup
Pineapple juice to fill
Cherry and pineapple slices to garnish
Blend all ingredients with ice
