The “At Least Three Karats” Cosmo, A Cocktail for Anora

Toast to Sean Baker’s Anora‘s Best Picture win and all-around sweep at the 2025 Academy Awards with this “At Least Three Karats” Cosmo. Best Actress winner Mikey Madison stars as the title character, a stripper from Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach neighborhood with shining tiinsel in her long, black hair, hearts on her gleaming acrylic nails, and stars in her eyes when she meets Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch.

When he comes to the strip club where Ani works, he requests a Russian speaking girl, and once he sees Ani, he falls for her. He pays for her to come on a weeklong partying binge with him and his friends, culminating in an impulsive wedding in Vegas so Vanya can stay in the United States. But the newlywed bliss doesn’t last, because soon Vanya’s oligarch family finds out he’s married an American stripper he’s only known for two weeks.

About Our “At Least Three Karats” Anora Cocktail

When Vanya is trying to convince Ani to marry him, she says she will if she gets a ring that’s “at least three karats.” Vanya laughs and says “What about five or six?” Ani gets her ring. If only it stayed that way. This “At Least Three Karats” Cosmo should inspire you to never settle for less than you deserve. It celebrates the feminine strength Ani shows throughout the movie and the glittering symbol of her dreams she wears on her finger.
