ELV wasn’t his usual self the other day, so instead of polishing off a bottle of viscous, lychee-redolent gewurtztraminer (Zind-Humbrecht or Trimbach, usually), followed by a nice, perfumy Volnay, he decided to slug down a couple of cocktails at lunch — just to take the edge off the afternoon…if you know what we mean.

DOUBLE HELIX WINE BAR
We love lots of things about the Double Helix: the name, the wines by the glass selection, the cool mixed drinks, the shopping hotties that hang there, and the fact that it’s the only place in The Palazzo Shoppes we can afford. (Whenever they add that extra “pes” to the word shop, you know, in the words of the late, great A. J. Curtas (The Official Deceased Father Of ELV): “…they saw you comin'”.)
Because nothing says “going green” like an organic, Earth Day martini
Rather than comment on this press release with the incisive snarkiness for which he is known, ELV will simply print it in its entirety….and allow its absurdity to speak for itself:
N9NE Group Commemorates Earth Day with the Organic Watermelon Sliced Martini
N9NE Steakhouse, the signature concept of N9NE Group, introduces the Watermelon Slice Martini, a unique organic cocktail to celebrate Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Made with fresh organic watermelon, Square One Vodka, Blue Agave Nectar and Elderflower, the Watermelon Slice Martini serves as this summer’s ultimate thirst-quenching libation. N9NE Group and the Palms Casino Resort are green-conscious and actively seek opportunities to further their progress in sustainability and to reduce their impact on the environment.
…so that each of you may mock it in your own personal, private way.
