The Best Coffee Drinks To Serve At Your Golden Globes Party

This year, the Golden Globes will take place on Sunday, Jan. 10th. The awards are a celebration of the previous year's best films and television programs, as decided upon by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Unlike the Academy Awards, which are later in the year, the Golden Globes are generally a little more fun. The host is typically a comedian - this year it's Ricky Gervais, the often politically-incorrect creator of The Office. Also unlike the Academy Awards, the guests typically drink alcohol throughout the night, which adds a little unpredictability to the proceedings. These are the elements you'll want to mimic at your own party.

Set the Stage
Before your guests arrive, you'll want to create an atmosphere that inspires thoughts about TV and film. Of course the centerpiece of the party will be the television set itself, so you'll want to have a lot of chairs and low tables for your guests to use. Unless you're a die-hard fan of the awards, you won't need to decorate too much. However, if your favorite show or movie is up for an award, it could be fun to decorate your living room with things inspired by the piece.

Your Golden Globes Party isn't ready until you've got the perfect coffee drinks.
