Moet & Chandon is an official sponsor of the event, so you can start with a classic Mimosa; plain old champagne and orange juice. Snore. Even straight champagne has barley enough to kick to get a cheerleader buzzed, so maybe you will want to get creative. "Milk" is nominated for a bunch of awards, why not drink something made with milk, like a Grasshopper or White Russian? If you're rooting for "Slumdog," try Toddy; a sort of fortified wine made from coconut palm that's very popular on the subcontinent. Or, since Toddy can admittedly be tough to find outside the tropics, maybe just pour yourself an India Pale Ale. We've got no idea what Glacier Brew House IPA tastes like, but their marketing materials are freaking awesome.
