The Cerulean Goose Brings 5-Star Opulence to Your Home Bar in 4 Easy Steps

Everything You Need to Know About the Cerulean Goose

With the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada set to debut on May 1, fashion’s inner circle is bracing for the return of Meryl Streep’s iconic Miranda Priestly. While the first film taught us the high-stakes history of a specific blue sweater, this cocktail brings that "cerulean" lecture into the glass. It’s a sharp, vibrant tribute to the monologue that defined the fashion industry for an entire generation. To get in the mood for the premiere, we’re moving past the frantic coffee runs and straight to the after-party. Even if Anna Wintour and the Vogue elite rarely break character, this elderflower-laced vodka sour—inspired by Grey Goose—is exactly what you’d expect to see served at a Runway celebration in Paris.
