Frank Sinatra's dressing-room rider specified extensive beverage requirements for performances. He requested 24 sodas, naming both diet and regular Coca-Cola, and a bucket of ice. He required at least one bottle each of Absolut Vodka, Jack Daniel's whiskey, Chivas Regal scotch, and Courvoisier cognac. Sinatra asked for mixers including tonic, Evian water, ginger ale, and club soda. He required a pot of coffee brewing with milk, cups, and saucers, plus a gallon of spring water for tea. Sinatra frequently drank Coca-Cola at Dodger Stadium in the 1970s and preferred being served an unopened full bottle.
According to a Facebook post that showed a list of the "My Way" crooner's demands, Frank Sinatra was no different. That said, when it came to drinks, the singer often requested a whopping 24 sodas be present in his dressing room, specifically naming both diet and regular Coca-Cola drinks, before he went on stage. Along with this, Sinatra also required a bucket of ice cubes to keep his beverages icy.
That said, Coke wasn't the only liquid libation Sinatra needed to sip on before he sang his hits for the masses back in the day. He also needed at least one bottle each of various alcohols - from Absolut Vodka to his beloved Jack Daniel's whiskey, Chivas Regal scotch, and Courvoisier cognac. But wait, there's more! For the liquor, Sinatra also requested mixers like tonic, Evian water, ginger ale, and club soda to make the booze go down a little more smoothly.
In fact, when he would stop by Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium during the 1970s to support his favorite team, eyewitnesses often spotted him with a bottle in hand. According to a separate Facebook post from one of those observers who worked at the baseball arena from 1977 until 1979, Sinatra would always watch games with a bottle of soda in his hand.
