There’s nothing like a little family bonding time during quarantine, and Christie Brinkley knows how to make it extra special. The legendary supermodel and her 24-year-old son, Jack Brinkley Cook, came together for an episode of her popular Instagram series, “Cocktails With Christie.” Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the pair found joy in creating some delicious drinks in the kitchen, sharing laughter, and making memories along the way.
Christie, ever the enthusiastic host, couldn’t hide her excitement as she introduced her son to her virtual audience. “Today I have a very special guest, my son-shine @jackbirbkleycook,” the 66-year-old beauty captioned a “Cocktails With Christie” clip on May 18. She went on to share what they had in store for viewers: “He is going to show us how to make a classic Negroni Sbagliato using my @bellissimaprosecco.” The Negroni Sbagliato, a twist on the classic Italian cocktail, is a fan favorite that combines gin, vermouth rosso, Campari, and a splash of sparkling wine, all garnished with an orange peel.

Jack Takes the Lead in Creating a Signature Cocktail
Throughout the tutorial, the star of Vegas Vacation — who shares Jack with her ex-husband Richard Taubman — watched with pride as her son skillfully crafted his “favorite iteration” of the Negroni. Jack, an up-and-coming actor, demonstrated a natural talent for mixology, showcasing his creativity and passion for making drinks that pack a punch. Christie, ever the supportive mom, couldn’t help but marvel at her son’s skills.
Once the cocktail was ready, it was time for the ultimate test: the taste. As Jack took a sip, his eyes lit up. “Oh, that is brilliant,” he exclaimed, clearly pleased with his handiwork. Christie followed suit, sipping her drink with a satisfied smile. It was a moment of pure joy, one that highlighted the bond between mother and son.
A Mother’s Gratitude
Christie, who is also the proud mother of daughters Alexa Ray Joel, 34, and Sailor Brinkley Cook, 21, from previous relationships, expressed her heartfelt gratitude for having Jack on the show. “It’s been just such a joy having you on the show,” she gushed, her voice filled with warmth and affection. Jack, ever the gentleman, replied with a simple but heartfelt “Wonderful. Wonderful.”

It’s clear that Christie has been cherishing every moment with her only son during quarantine. Besides their cocktail-making adventures, the duo has spent countless hours working together in the garden. Christie shared photos of Jack helping her tend to the yard, capturing their shared enthusiasm for outdoor projects. “My sweet son-shine Jack and I got all the Wisteria vines out of the Kousa Dogwood Trees today!” she captioned one post. “It took us hours, but it was so satisfying when we would get a really long knotted up vine out all the way to the top!”
