Green drinks for Earth Hour

Earth Hour imageEarth Hour started as a single-city movement in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and one year later has become an event in which cities and countries all across the world are participating in 2008. In Toronto, Canada, residents and businesses are getting into the act in a big way. The Fairmount Royal York Hotel is planning on turning off it's landmark sign, as well as extinguishing as many of their 34,000 lights as is safely possible.

The hotel's bar has also gotten in on the action, with a menu of green drinks created expressly for the occasion. You can order a Turn Your Lights Down Low, which is a blend of gin, triple sec, rum, vodka, fresh lemon juice, a splash of simple syrup and a drizzle of black Sambuca. The Green Movement, which consists of vanilla vodka, Tequila Rose liqueur, cognac, Frangelico and a splash of cream. It gets shaken and strained into a martini glass rimmed with green-coloured simple syrup (hmm, just because a drink is green, doesn't necessarily make it Green). If you want to make an Earth Hour cocktail at home, check out the recipe for The Global Warming after the jump.
