3 country music-inspired cocktails to sip during the CMA Awards
As country music stars and fans gear up for the CMA Awards, the 1 Hotel Nashville is serving up three special libations to get everyone in the Music City spirit.
The hotel, located down the street from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, where the 57th annual awards show is taking place Wednesday night, enlisted the expertise of beverage manager Harrison Deakin to swirl, shake and strain some signature cocktails to accompany the evening.
“I grew up in the music industry and hold places like the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman [Auditorium] close to my heart,” Deakin told “Good Morning America.” “I remember playing backstage there and looking out into the crowd with a sense of awe. They are magical venues that hold a special place in everyone’s heart who has visited Nashville.”
As such, Deakin created “The Grand Ole Fashioned” to be the hotel’s signature drink, which he said “mimics the warm lights that grace the stage, and the wonderful fall flavors that dance across your tongue.”
Next up, the Crying Shame, which is “a bright blue cocktail inspired by a country classic, and Nashville’s neon lights.” The cocktail features “Corsair Gin, blue spirulina, clarified lemon, simple [syrup and] soda water.”
Finally, If You Need an Alibi is a riff on an espresso martini, which Deakin said was “inspired by Kelsea Ballerini’s song ‘If You Go Down (I’m Goin’ Down Too),’ to keep you up all night long.”
“Kelsea celebrated the grand opening of our signature restaurant, 1 Kitchen, in 2022 and the espresso martini became a favorite order for her,” he revealed, “so we wanted to create a special version in her honor.”
See below for how to make the drinks at home.

A cocktail lounge at the top of the Beekman Tower.
It originally served as a womens-only club and hotel space for the national Greek-letter sororities. And in 1934 it was rebranded as the Beekman Tower and opened to all.
Ophelia sits a top of this esteemed monument of classic New York architecture, designed by John Mead Howells and featuring sculptures by Rene Paul Chambellan.
Muse for New Yorkers, including one time regular – Frank Sinatra. Now it’s yours to enjoy.
The doors to the 26th floor have once again opened and are now inspiring a new generation.
