Ophelia’s Pride Aviation
Created by Head Bartender Amir Babayoff for Ophelia in celebration of PRIDE Month, Ophelia has created inspired by the lounge’s Panhellenic roots – Ophelia’s Pride Aviation. The lavender cocktail features a printed lambda as a nod to The New York Gay Activists Alliance who chose the Lambda as their symbol in 1970. Since then, the Lambda has been adopted by the International Gay Rights Congress and stands as a popular international symbol for gay pride and activism. The cocktail will be available for purchase throughout the month of June, and for every cocktail purchased $1 will be donated to The Trevor Project.
Anejo’s PRIDE Sparkler
For a little something #extra this PRIDE month, Añejo, the modern Mexican restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen, will be adding some serious sparkle to their extensive cocktail menu. For the month of June, the restaurant will be offering the option to upgrade your drink for only $3 with a combination of edible glitter and pea flower extract, which turns pink and purple when activated by citrus. For each upgraded cocktail sold, Añejo will be donating the upcharge to the Trevor Project, a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention efforts among LGBTQ youth.
