New York Shakes New Orleans Cocktails to Help Hurricane Katrina Victims

New York Bars and Restaurants to Undertake Citywide Cocktail Hour to Aid New Orleans Food & Beverage Workers and Their Families

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 — New Yorkers citywide will raise a shaker and a toast on September 12, 2005, to provide much-needed funds for its sister city in distress, New Orleans, during the "Save New Orleans Cocktail Hour." ...

The Sazerac, Pimm's Cup, Comfort Julep, Vieux Carre, Ramos' Gin Fizz, Obituary Cocktail, French 75, Hurricane, and Brandy Milk Punch are signature drinks shaken up in the Crescent City's finest establishments. On Monday, September 12th these classics will be offered for $10 per drink between the hours of 5:00pm and 7:00pm. Receipts from the Save New Orleans Cocktail Hour will be donated to a special tax-deductible relief fund established by the Museum of the American Cocktail.

The list of participating bars is scheduled to be released Monday. We'll let you know.

Meantime, slutty (but altruistic) sis Wonkette has some non-alcoholic charity suggestions.
