Kevin Bacon makes Simone Biles-inspired cocktail that has spot-on 'secret ingredient'

Kevin Bacon served up a new cocktail creation as a tribute to women's gymnastics all-around champion Simone Biles, featuring a key "secret ingredient."

"And that is a goat, that's been chilling," Bacon said in a video shared to X on Aug. 2 as he moved a glass with a goat figurine perched on the rim in the camera frame.

The cocktail, which appeared to be a spicy margarita measured from the heart, was mixed with tequila, chili powder (because Biles "is fire"), a dash of maple syrup, and of course, plenty of lime.

At the end, he shared the drink's name — the "iced out GOAT."

The name is likely a reference to Biles' new bling that she debuted after winning her second gold medal in Paris, and ninth Olympic medal overall, in the all-around competition Aug. 1. Cementing her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time, she wore a custom-made necklace with a diamond-encrusted goat figure — a symbol that plays up the abbreviation for greatest of all time, or GOAT.

Captioning his recipe video, Bacon wrote, "A drink fit for a GOAT. Congrats @Simone_Biles and the entire women’s gymnastics team!"

Bacon is one of many celebrities, whether it be in Paris or at home, that were cheering on the U.S. women's gymnastics team.

"Law & Order: SVU" star Mariska Hargitay met a shocked Jordan Chiles and Suni Lee at the Olympics Aug. 2. The actor and gymnasts also chatted with the king of viral Olympic moments, Snoop Dogg.

Celebrities and athletes, including Kendall Jenner, Martha Stewart, Seth Rogen, Serena Williams and more, were also in attendance for the all-around competition, per Olympics.com.

Beyoncé and Tina Knowles were cheering on Biles from home. After her floor score popped up on the screen, solidifying her gold medal win, the mother-daughter duo could be heard screaming in celebration in a video posted to Knowles' Instagram on Aug. 3.

"Me and the Carter girls when Simone Biles our homegirl won!" Knowles captioned the post.
