Kevin Bacon Toasts Simone Biles With ‘Iced-Out GOAT’ Cocktail

Given that Kevin Bacon’s actual goats have gone viral, it's no surprise that the actor was quick to whip up a fitting “GOAT” cocktail in honor of USA Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.

Bacon took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday (Aug. 2) to share the recipe for his creative concoction, guiding fans through a tutorial for making the refreshing drink. In the video, Bacon starts with tequila, which he cheekily admits he "doesn't really measure." He then adds "plenty of lime," noting, "I like things pretty lime-y."

Next up, Bacon adds "some chili powder—because [Biles] is fire!" A bit of ice and "just a dash of maple syrup" go in to sweeten the mix.

While shaking up his cocktail, Bacon lets slip the one “secret ingredient” that ties it all together. "A goat that's been chilling." He moves a glass filled with ice in front of the camera, showing off a small goat figurine hanging off the rim like a garnish.

"And I call this drink the Iced-Out Goat," he declares, before giving a shoutout to Biles: "Congratulations, Simone."

Biles, the literal "iced-out goat" at the Paris Games, even wore a silver chain with a goat pendant after clinching gold in the women's all-around individual finals.

"A drink fit for a GOAT. [Goat emoji] Congrats @simonebiles and the entire women’s gymnastics team!" Bacon wrote in the caption on his Instagram post, which had fans fawning over the sweet tribute.

"Awesome as always Kev," one of his followers applauded, while someone else called Bacon and Biles "Two icons [goat emoji] [blue cap emoji]." 

"I hope she sees this and knows about your goats," someone else chimed in, referencing the record-breaking athlete. "This is a freaking brilliant tribute from one GOAT to another!" 

Biles had a tough go during a routine set to music by pop icons Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. She earned silver in the floor exercise finals on Monday—her 11th Olympic medal—after a routine that included a couple of costly steps out of bounds. Brazil's Rebeca Andrade became the first gymnast to beat Biles in a floor final at a major international competition, posting a score of 14.166 to Biles' 14.133.

Jordan Chiles, Biles’ longtime friend and teammate, took home the bronze.

According to ESPN, Biles’ medal tally (seven gold, two silver, two bronze) ties Czechoslovakia’s Vera Čáslavská for the second-most by a female gymnast in Olympic history. Biles missed a chance to add a fifth Paris medal earlier Monday when she fell during the beam final, finishing fifth.
