Brie Larson and BFF Courtney McBroom Battle for Party Hosting Supremacy

First, the duo was tasked with creating a classic French 75 cocktail—without a recipe. This blind test quickly revealed their different approaches, leading to a hilarious scramble for the perfect balance of gin, champagne, lemon juice, and sugar.
Next, their artistic skills were put on the line with a floral arranging contest. Given an assortment of flowers and a vase, Larson and McBroom had to craft a beautiful centerpiece worthy of any dinner party. The friendly rivalry was on full display as they traded playful jabs while showcasing their creative talents.
