| Join us for a Southern twist on the traditional cocktail party as we are transported to the Big Easy for tonight's mixer, courtesy of the Morrison-Clark Inn.
Rush-hour gridlock may be just a few yards away, but with the clink of ice cubes in glasses, an open courtyard, and the rays of the sun, the feel here is pure bliss at this gorgeous Victorian mansion.
For your pleasure, the Morrison-Clark is offering drink specials on everything "Big Easy", from the juleps, a not-too-sweet concoction of bourbon and mint syrup garnished with a fragrant herbal sprig, to a New Orleans favorite, the Hurricane! We can't forget the Long Island Iced Tea or the Morrison-Clark's signature drink, the "Steel Magnolia"! With one in hand, you'll be on the way to mastering the art of staying cool in even the most melting heat, something that seems innate to Southerners. The secret? A refreshing drink, a light breeze -- oh, and maybe the seersucker helps, too.
The Morrison-Clark Inn is on the National Register of Historic Places and dates back to 1864. In the 1920s it became a military club offering low-cost lodging to servicemen; every first lady from Grace Coolidge to Nancy Reagan served as honorary chairwoman. It is now a boutique-style hotel with 54 guest rooms with unique period furnishings.
Mint Juleps, Long Island Iced Teas, Steel Magnolias and Hurricanes are $3 off the normal price this evening, and complimentary appetizers will also be served. A cash bar will be available.
