You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more. This week, in honor of all things Bond, we're discussing our favorite classic cocktails -- shaken, stirred, and otherwise.

12 desserts and drinks to commemorate the reason we all really watch the show: cheering and jeering the evening's fashion choices.

There are few things more celebratory than a glass of bubbly.
