The Toronto International Film Festival brings some of the biggest names in Hollywood to Canada’s largest city. And along with them comes the A-lister way of living, from swanky hotels, to pampering spas, to hot spots to sip on a classy cocktail. While you might not be able to hit the bevy of celeb hot spots this year to catch a glimpse of Brad and Angelina or Leo, you can at least feel like you’re sipping in style with these amazing film fest inspired
SKYY Vodka and
FIJI water cocktails. We have the inside scoop on what drinks our favourite celebrities will be tasting so you can bring the Hollywood glamour home. (Hint: to go all out A-list style, you need to add FIJI water ice cubes. A celeb fave, FIJI water ice cubes gives your drinks refreshment without altering the taste.)

The classic TIFF party

If you’re hosting a classy party with guests dressed to the nine (who needs a red carpet?), then this is the perfect cocktail to hand your guests as they enter the door. Inspired by Don McKellar and his screen adaptation
Blindness starring Gael García Bernal, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and McKellar, this cocktail is the quintessential TIFF drink.

The artsy TIFF party
