Trattoria Neapolis' Campanula Sour (l) and Easton (r)
A citywide Julia Child Cocktail Party will be kicking off on August 15 with SIP-tember: a Celebration of the Cocktail, where 64 drinks will compete to be named the favorite in a six-week online cocktail bracket challenge.
From August 15 to September 26, local restaurants will serve cocktails that will be paired against each other in a competition that will culminate in a live taste-off of the four drinks that win their respective brackets.
One of the participants will be Trattoria Neapolis, the award-winning Italian restaurant and bar. Trattoria will be competing with two entries:
“Campanula Sour” – Grapefruit Vodka, St Germain, Fresh Lemon Juice, Mint, Red Bell Pepper
and
“Easton” – House Infused Cucumber Vodka, Fresh Lime Juice, Mint
Voting in the cocktail bracket challenge goes live on Wednesday, August 15th. SIP-tember kicks off with a citywide cocktail party to celebrate the 101st anniversary of the birth of America’s first culinary celebrity – Pasadena’s own Julia Child. The Julia Child inspired Cocktail Party on August 15th will take place in restaurants all over Pasadena, culminating in a citywide happy birthday toast at 7:00pm. Patrons are encouraged to dress for a 1950s, 1960s or 1970s era cocktail party.
