The night before the Oscars and Soho House West Hollywood was a flutter of excitement at the Harvey Weinstein Mont Blanc Oscars Party where nominees and other guests from the world of film enjoyed a collection of Grey Goose cocktails. Guests—who included some of this year’s Oscar nominees, past winners and some of the biggest names in film—enjoyed a cocktail collection created by Grey Goose Ambassador Dimi Lezinska. The Grey Goose Le Fizz was a favourite, but the elegant Pas de Deux also caught the eye and tempted the taste buds of many who sipped their cocktails while enjoying the view from the terrace garden at Soho House West Hollywood.
