Nationwide Cocktail Fundraiser for Katrina

For those who are looking to still contribute to the Hurricane Katrina fund, you can raise a glass Monday night and all the proceeds go to those victims of the natural disaster. The Museum of the American Cocktail, which calls New Orleans home, is having a nationwide fundraiser tomorrow night from 5-7p.m. The “Save New Orleans Cocktail Hour” has participating bars and restaurants across the country serving up New Orleans’ styled libations at $10 a pop. All the receipts from these cocktails will be submitted to a special tax-deductible relief fund for those residents that apply for the aid.

While lots of New York City and Washington D.C. bars are taking part, only one Boston establishment, No. 9 Park will be participating by featuring three drinks: Pimms Cup, the French 75, and the Sarezac. No. 9 Park is actually extending the cocktail fundraiser from now thru October 1. For those who have been procrastinating about donating to one of the Katrina funds, there are no excuses now; you will not only feel good about doing your part, but you might just leave with a buzz, too.
