A Cocktail with a Cause
Inspired by a spontaneous creation by Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson during the filming of “Giant” in 1955, the Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini is a blend of Tito’s Vodka, Kahlúa, and chocolate syrup. This updated version of the classic cocktail is now available at Tryst Hospitality locations, offering patrons a chance to indulge in a sweet treat while contributing to a worthy cause.
For every Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini sold, $1 will be donated to ETAF, furthering the foundation’s mission to achieve an AIDS-free world. This partnership builds on Tryst Hospitality’s previous collaborations with ETAF, including events such as The Abbey’s World AIDS Day Tree Lighting. The martini serves as both a fundraiser and a tribute to Elizabeth Taylor’s unwavering dedication to HIV/AIDS awareness, as stated by Tristan Schukraft, founder of Tryst Hospitality.
Elizabeth Taylor’s Enduring Legacy
Elizabeth Taylor was a pioneering advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness, using her platform to raise both awareness and funds for the cause. Cathy Brown, Executive Director of ETAF, emphasizes that Elizabeth Taylor believed in utilizing every available avenue to support the fight against HIV. This initiative brings her spirit into community spaces, allowing individuals to contribute to her vision while enjoying a unique cocktail.
Expanding the Partnership
The introduction of the Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini represents an expansion of the existing partnership between Tryst Hospitality and ETAF. Previous collaborations, such as The Abbey’s World AIDS Day Tree Lighting, have demonstrated the commitment of both organizations to raising awareness and supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS. This new initiative offers a sustainable and engaging way for patrons to contribute to ETAF’s mission on an ongoing basis.
Availability and Impact
The Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini is available at Tryst Hospitality locations, offering a convenient and enjoyable way for individuals to support ETAF’s work. The donation of $1 per martini sold will directly contribute to the foundation’s efforts to prevent new HIV infections, provide care and treatment for those living with HIV, and advocate for policies that support the fight against AIDS. The initiative aims to not only raise funds but also to raise awareness and spark conversations about HIV/AIDS within the community.
Sip for a Cause: A Sweet Conclusion
