It's so much simpler than that.
Timothée Chalamet’s Favorite Cocktail Is Not an Espresso Martini
Published on Jun. 13, 2025
If you’ve always wanted to host a little Timothée Chalamet appreciation party, it’s getting easier and easier to plan the menu. We know that he’s a big fan of the Trader Joe’s Tarte d’Alsace, and now we have confirmation of his favorite cocktail. It’s honestly not what I expected—mostly because I remember those photos of him enjoying espresso martinis with Larry David making the rounds on social media.
Turns out Timothée is a little less into the sophisticated allure of an espresso martini. When it comes to kicking back and relaxing with a beverage, he prefers his drinks on the simpler side. In fact, I bet you could probably whip one up right now.
What is Timothée Chalamet’s favorite cocktail?
In an interview with Brittany Broski, Thimothée says that he loves a rum and Coke! Specifically, he loves a Captain Morgan and Coke. The whole interview is a delight, and it’s worth a watch if you’re a fan of either Timothée or Brittany.
What’s interesting about this revelation, though, is that Timothée admits to not really being a big drinker. He didn’t spend a lot of his time in college partying. “I was obsessed with acting,” he says. “I know it sounds lame, but I’m a theater kid through and through, so that was my pursuit.” In my personal experience, being a theater kid does not negate getting drunk, but c’est la vie!
I guess it makes sense, then, that Timothée has such a simple favorite when it comes to cocktails. And listen, there’s nothing wrong with a rum and Coke! Mixed drinks are classics for a reason: They’re simple and reliable. There’s not a lot to get wrong when you’re mixing together just two or three ingredients plus a garnish.
Now that Timothée is getting older, I do think he could find some cocktails to add to his repertoire. My personal favorite cocktail is a French 75, which would be a nice pairing with his Tarte d’Alsace. But if he wants to stick to the rum route, maybe he could switch things up with a Cuba Libre or a Dark and Stormy.
