As they have done in recent years, the folks at Bambara restaurant's The Vault lounge are concocting a tasty batch of specialty cocktails, each designed for an Oscar "Best Picture" nominee.

“Our Oscar-themed cocktails are a big hit in The Vault” said Bambara’s expert bartender, Austin Craig. “This year's inspiration came from locations, and also pays homage to personalities and ages of the characters.”

Oscar-inspired cocktails include the American Sniper, made with Tito's Vodka (from CPO Kyle's home state of Texas), blueberries, and ginger beer; the Selma: a Southern Comfort mint julep, the signature drink of the South; and the Whiplash, which is a Perfect Manhattan made in honor of Buddy Rich, one of drummer Andrew Neiman's heroes.
