Baccarat and Dewar's Whisky Celebrate Broadway with Revival of Iconic Speakeasy Experience at Tony Awards
Baccarat and Dewar's Blended Scotch Whisky are making a grand return to the iconic Tony Awards, bringing with them a revival of their much-celebrated speakeasy experience. The two prestigious brands are joining forces once again to celebrate Broadway's illustrious night on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. This collaboration promises to blend outstanding craftsmanship with the creativity and artistry that the Tony Awards encapsulate.
The experience this year is crafted in homage to the artistry and unforgettable performances of the 2025 theater season. The speakeasy is designed with contemporary elegance in mind. It showcases rich textures, warm cream tones, and luxurious gold accents, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere layered with deep bronze hues. As guests enter, they're greeted by stunning Baccarat crystal chandeliers, making the space feel both intimate and theatrical, setting the stage for a truly special experience.
Baccarat's CEO for North America, Thais Roda, expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the significance of the Tony Awards and how this partnership reflects their legacy in crafting unforgettable moments. "For generations, Baccarat has illuminated the world's most meaningful celebrations," said Roda. "And the Tony Awards, which celebrates those who turn performance into art, is exactly what our Maison is made for."
At the heart of this splendid speakeasy experience is an exquisite cocktail menu crafted specifically for the 2026 Tony Awards. The highlights include three unique cocktails that will serve as the official drinks of the evening. The first is "The Stage Door Canteen," a bright and refreshing drink featuring botanical notes and lemongrass, served in Baccarat's Harcourt Eve glassware. The second signature offering is "The Curtain Call," which combines rich flavors of blood orange and Dewar's 21-Year-Old Oloroso, elegantly presented in a Baccarat Massena Coupe. Finally, "The 21st Measure," a bittersweet creation, will be served in the Baccarat Harmonie Tumbler, incorporating chocolate mole bitters and orange bitters to enhance its complexity.
Each cocktail utilizes the award-winning Dewar's Double Double range, renowned for its innovative four-stage aging process that delivers remarkable smoothness and depth of flavor. In a bid to further celebrate New York's cocktail culture, Baccarat and Dewar's have invited two leading mixologists to collaborate on the menu, demonstrating how the cocktail craft can reach new heights.
Alongside the signature drinks, the partnership also extends its vibe beyond the event. Select cocktails will find their way to prominent bars across New York City post-Tony Awards, keeping the celebration alive in various venues and allowing more people to indulge in the exquisite experience.
Brian Cox, the Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky at Bacardi (parent company of Dewar's), shared his sentiments about this collaboration, stating, "Broadway and Scotch whisky share a foundation in craftsmanship, character, and storytelling. This partnership with Baccarat beautifully brings this spirit of creativity to life through our bespoke cocktails, celebrating the moments worth raising a glass to."
The 79th Annual Tony Awards will be broadcast live, ensuring audiences both coasts can share in the celebration. Hosted by pop superstar P!NK and featuring a pre-show with renowned personalities Laura Benanti and Tituss Burgess, Broadway's biggest night promises to be filled with excitement and memorable performances.
Both Baccarat and Dewar's are committed to creating meaningful experiences that honor tradition while exploring new avenues of expression. Their partnership at the Tony Awards serves as a stunning testament to this shared vision of artistry and celebration where every glass raised is a story waiting to be told.
