Here's What All the Stars Will Be Drinking at the 2016 Emmy Awards

The 2016 Emmys Awards are almost upon us. To help fuel your binge-watching this weekend, why not fix up a cocktail that your favorite small-screen stars will be sipping after the show? This year's drink of choice for the annual Governors Ball—named "The Moonlighter"—calls for vodka, homemade chamomile-lavender syrup, lemon juice, Cocchi Americano, and soda water. "It's simple yet elegant: mildly effervescent, crystal clear, and delicately floral," says mixologist Charles Joly, who devised the recipe. See for yourself below.
