Bar star Kate Bolton has created a menu of fabulous Alice in Wonderland themed cocktails for Lord George, the happening cocktail bar in South Park. The drink menu is the debut of Lord George’s new seasonally-rotating guest bartender series, Mavericks. The menu will launch on Monday, April 3 and it will be available for three months. A portion of each drink sold will be donated to the bartender’s charity of choice. The bartenders are given no restrictions to what type of drinks they create and Bolton’s selection of libations inspired by Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is whimsical and fun. Drink Me is a tiny bottled serving of whiskey, cherry, absinthe, and bitters while the Cheshire Cat is a frothing mixture of tequila, pineapple, coffee tincture, lemon, and egg white with a smile stenciled on top. We can’t wait to try these fantastical concoctions!
