Denzel Washington has his own drink at Davio's. Cheers!

In honor of guys with Atlanta ties up for best-actor Oscars, Davio's Atlanta is serving up some celeb-inspired sips this Sunday.

The Denzel (cherry vodka, pomegranate juice, club soda and lime); the Daniel Day-Lewis (mint leaves, pulverized sugar, cognac, fresh berries, crushed ice, sliced orange); the Hugh Jackman (Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, bitters, lemon twist); and the De Niro (prosecco, Aperol orange liquor, seltzer and sliced orange) will be available for $13 each from 5 to 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Delightfully, each of the specialty cocktails has an Atlanta connection, although some are stronger than others.

Most prominently, Denzel Washington is up for an Academy Award for his lead role in "Flight," which was filmed here. Jackman, nominated for his role in "Les Miz," is actually here right now filming a new movie, "Prisoners." De Niro, nominated for "Silver Linings Playbook," filmed two movies in Atlanta last year, "Killing Season" and "Last Vegas."

Day-Lewis' Atlanta connection is a bit more tenuous but that's no reason to interrupt happy hour, right? The Atlanta Opera's upcoming performance of "La Traviata" features Mary Dunleavy in its leading role; the soprano in town right now shared some screen time with Day-Lewis and Sally Field in "Lincoln." It's the scene where President and Mrs. Lincoln attend an opera, and Dunleavy performed a bit from "Faust." 

We'll drink to that. Cheers!
