Looks like 2011 is the summer of natural disasters. We have some great cocktail ideas for those of you dealing with the earthquakes and Hurricane Irene in the US this week. To mark the yesterday’s 5.8 Earthpocalypse, Riazul Premium Tequila has quickly turned around a festive libation to calm the jittery nerves of bar and nightclub patrons.
Dubbed the Tremblement de Anejo, the cocktail is adapted version of the classic Earthquake cocktail (or Tremblement de Terre) attributed to French painter Toulouse-Lautrec. The name is a reference to the fact that the potent mixture creates a tremor within the imbiber.
The Tremblement de Anejo will be on tap by this weekend and through Labor Day at Manhattan Meat Packing District’s MPD Restaurant and Georgica restaurant Waintscott (in the Hamptons).
