The InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta is offering globally inspired cocktails all using Coca-Cola through the end of September.
The 11 cocktails — priced at US$12 apiece — each represent a different country or continent and blend Coca-Cola with local ingredients or spirits specific to the culture and cuisine of a region in each country. For example, the Happy cocktail represents Thailand and infuses lemongrass and black sesame into a simple syrup for the beverage. The Japanese-inspired cocktail Wonderful features Hibiki 12, a 12-year old blended Japanese whiskey, and yuzu juice, which originates in East Asia.
“The InterContinental brand loves to create innovative and memorable food and beverage concepts that help enhance our guests’ worldview,” said Jean-Pierre Etcheberrigaray, vice president of food and beverage at IHG for the Americas. “The new Coca-Cola cocktail menu will allow our guests to get a taste of the local flavors from some of our favorite top international destinations.”
