Join us for a Southern twist on the traditional cocktail party as we are transported to the Big Easy for tonight's summer mixer, courtesy of the Morrison-Clark Inn.

Enjoy the beautiful open courtyard, the rays of the sun, and the clink of ice cubes in glasses; the feel here is pure bliss at this gorgeous Victorian mansion.

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.

For your pleasure, the Morrison-Clark is offering drink specials on everything "Big Easy." Enjoy a traditional Mint Julep, a not-too-sweet concoction of bourbon and mint syrup garnished with a fragrant herbal sprig. 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.

Tonight's drink specials include:
Beer - $6 (Budweiser, Amstel Light, Corona)

Wine – $7 (House Grenache and Sauvignon Blanc)

Mixed Drinks - $8 (Sobieski Vodka, Tangueray Gin, Bacardi Silver Rum, Early Times Whiskey, Dewars Scotch, Milagro Tequila)

Specialty Cocktails - $9 (White Cosmo, Mojito, Mint Julep)


Complimentary appetizers will also be served for your enjoyment.
