Join us on Opening Night to celebrate the start of the Cinema Cocktail 2021 Virtual Film Festival!
Because we’re united through cinema from all across the country – and possibly from various corners of the world – we’ll be experimenting with ways to hold virtual galas and celebrations throughout the festival. We’ll hold our first gala as a kick-off to the festival on May 21 at 4:00 pm (PST). Some of you may have had a chance to see our Opening Night Film, some of you might be getting ready to watch it. Either way, join us for a brief time of snacks and cocktails as we start to form community around this celebration of film. Fill out the form below to receive your link to the Cinema Cocktail online gathering space!
Cocktail of Choice: The Tequila Sunrise
Like Old Dolio’s con-artist family, The Tequila Sunrise has seen better days. First mixed in sunny California for actors and rock stars, it quickly tumbled from cool to commercial. Now one of the bars that started it all is a car rental agency. Still, there might be something sweet here.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz. tequila
- 1/2 oz. Grenadine
- 3 oz. orange juice
Pour the tequila into a highball with ice. Follow with the orange juice. Using the back of a spoon, drizzle in the Grenadine along the side of the glass until it settles at the bottom. Garnish with an orange slice and a cherry.
Gala Gourmet
Even when you’re living on the edge, you still want a treat sometimes. And nothing says convenience store raid better than baked goods in cellophane. Try these gluten/nut/dairy-free treats. Pair with an energy drink or a cup of coffee for the full experience. (Various Prices)
