VINTAGE TRAVEL HITS A HIGH NOTE IN CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

Cypress Inn Cuts Loose with Curated Classic Cocktail Menu & Fedora Thursdays

Celebrating Carmel Art & Film Festival/October 2012 

 

President Reagan, who starred with Day in the 1952 "The Winning Team," favored the gin-n-juice Orange Blossom which is served with a side of jelly beans. Whiskey-drinking James Cagney, who starred with Day in the 1955 "Love Me or Leave Me," inspired a spin on the classic Old-Fashioned, Sazerac and Plenty O'Toole, named after the iconic James Bond character in "Diamonds Are Forever." Other stars on the new menu include a vintage Ramos Fizz, Clover Club and punchy Rum Zombie.

FEDORA THURSDAYS

Kicking off the Carmel Art & Film Festival, Cypress Inn debuts Fedora Thursday's in Terry's Lounge throughout October/2012. Don the classic hat - Homburgs, Trilbys or a reasonable felt facsimile - and receive a complimentary two-for-one classic cocktail from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. As the pioneer in pet-friendly lodging and first property in Carmel to open its doors to traveling animals, Cypress Inn will also offer complimentary Muttinis for four-legged guests who dare to flaunt a retro Rat Pack look. Dates: October 11, 18, 25, 2012.

CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, CALIF. -

 

Getting out of that wet suit and into a dry martini crafted by a "startender" who shook it up for the original Rat Pack is a seamless feat at Cypress Inn, where vintage Hollywood hits a high note by the sea.  Ready for its close-up, Terry's Lounge debuts an expanded Classic Cocktail Menu playing off co-owner Doris Day's legendary leading men to coincide with the fourth annual Carmel Art & Film Festival (October 10-14, 2012).  As the event's host hotel, Cypress Inn will roll out the red carpet with a spirited line-up of custom cocktails and weekly "Fedora Thursday" parties starting October 11, 2012.

STINGERS -- AND KEEP THEM COMING...

Curated by lead mixologist Drago (who bartended for Davis, Sinatra and Bishop) the line-up of '20s -'40s-era hand-crafted cocktails reflects a wealth of research into both Day's co-stars' drinking habits and the rich history behind them. Based on the 1957 film "Kiss Them For Me," Cary Grant's love of the minty Stinger, a drink most likely born during Prohibition to disguise the smell of hooch, debuts on the carte as does a sexy Brandy Milk Punch and Widow's Kiss, blending the aromatic firepower of two herbal liqueurs. For non-traditionalists, the Sidecar's cousin - Between the Sheets - rounds out the Brandy selections.
