According to a source, the Friends alum, 56, is known for throwing amazing dinner parties with Hollywood pals at her lavish place in Bel-Air – and she feels right at home at the bar serving up cocktails.
“You go back to Jen’s days as a struggling actress in her early twenties in New York, and you get why she has the brain of a bartender, not a master chef,” the source exclusively tells the National ENQUIRER.
The source adds that the Morning Show star can make just about “any cocktail in the book” and her home bar is “like something you’d see in a luxury resort.”
“People love hanging out there after dinner, and the space looks out onto an incredible view of West L.A.,” continues the source. “As much as Jen loves the Tower Bar, her set-up at home is just as nice.”
“She has so many extremely famous friends who absolutely rave about her Sunday night dinner parties to anyone who will listen!” the source shares, noting Jennifer’s “estate has become a party destination for other stars and friends that Jen came up with, like Jason Bateman and Adam Sandler and their wives.”
As for one of her favorite cocktails, Jennifer keeps it simple. In 2018, she told InStyle that she’s partial to what she described as a “cleaner margarita,” per People.
“It’s barely a recipe,” she explained at the time. “It’s basically silver tequila with lime juice shaken and over rocks. And some people like a little Cointreau, some don’t … No sugar, no mixes, no agave. I don’t like sweet drinks.”
Three years later, she told the outlet that a classic dirty martini is also one of her favorite alcoholic beverages to sip.
“I only have two to three drinks, tops, and I don’t do exotic. When someone asks, ‘Would you like a cranberry-coconut-cucumber-spiced or hibiscus whatever?’ No, I would not,” she quipped. “But when I moved into my house, a few people got me tequilas of the month as housewarming gifts. I have a cellar of all kinds of spirits – you could come here and probably order anything you wanted to.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer recently sparked dating rumors with Hollywood heartthrob Pedro Pascal after the pair was spotted having drinks in Los Angeles together. However, the Last of Us star, 50, later confirmed they were just “very good friends.”
“I got to have dinner [with her] on Saturday,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “It was a fun martini dinner.”
Pedro also gushed about their friendship in a March interview with Access Hollywood.
“If you’re in a party setting and you make eye contact with Jen, she just knows exactly what’s going on with you and knows exactly how to make you feel,” he said.
