It’s the biggest night in fashion, aka the Met Gala, and that means three things: watching celebrities and their stylists create beautiful works of art, looking camp right in the eye, and serving up a fun, themed drink.
This year, liquor brand The Macallan and The Mark Hotel (where the stars are known to pass through) collaborated to create a signature cocktail to offer at the lobby bar after the event. Named Castle Garden, the alcoholic beverage features takes on the Costume Institute's new exhibition with its complex flavors.
The theme for the Met Gala this year is “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and the official dress code is “The Garden of Time.” The exhibition will be shaped around three zones: land, sea, and sky.

“The Macallan’s Castle Garden was inspired by this year’s exhibition theme, which honors the natural world,” The Macallan Brand Ambassador, Ryan Welliver, told Better Homes & Gardens. “As a brand with a 200-year legacy, we’ve always ensured we kept a reverence for nature at the center of all we do, so we wanted to create a cocktail that not only brought the theme to life, but also shined a light on our beliefs.”

As trends often go, what’s old is new again, and the garden is no exception. Romantic and whimsical gardens are back in style, along with many classic blooms like roses, hydrangeas, and 2024’s “it” flower—the peony.
If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case.

Appliances tend to be the last thing we think about when we’re cleaning our home, but that also means they end up collecting the most dirt, dust, and grime—all as we continue to cook with them.
