• Tom Hanks reveals all the information on his very own creative cocktail.
• Hanks then said that the drink can include “any Cola product”.

The Oscar winner debuted a new “Hanks family custom” this week on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a dubious bubbly cocktail.

Hanks introduced the scene by narrating how a “celebratory bottle of champagne [was] brought by” as he was seeing his wife Rita Wilson perform at Café Carlyle in New York City.

“I’m not a big drinker, so I usually have a diet Coke,” he said. “So I have a little bit of caffeine, Diet Coke in a glass, and I sip that through the night.”

However, the A Man Called Otto actor indulged in a cocktail with additional bubbles on this specific occasion.

“They brought the champagne around, they brought the nice foods,” he said of the Manhattan spot. “It was like the last episode of The Bachelor, pouring all this stuff around, and I just had this Diet Coke. And I said, ‘Oh give me a shot of champagne in there for crying out loud.'”

Unsurprisingly, mixing a bit of bubbly in the soda turned heads. “Everybody said, ‘You are insane. I said, ‘Well I may be insane, but I want to celebrate the season,'” he said, adding his satisfactory review of the drink. “Stephen, it was delicious.”

Hanks then said that the drink can include “any Cola product” as long as it’s diet since he has type 2 diabetes, and Colbert then pulled out a set of glasses filled with ice. What’s better for type 2 diabetes, he jokingly said, than a tiny shot of champagne in your Diet Coke?

Colbert took his first taste as the two toasted “Happy 2023.” And to the shock of the audience, he seemed to like it. The late-night presenter quipped, “We have the Tom Collins, and we have the Tom Hanks.”
