In honor of the Mendocino Film Festival, Sue Bondoux, longtime bartender at Little River Inn, has created a special menu of drinks inspired by the motion picture industry. Makes since given the fact that Ole’s Whale Watch Bar, a watering hole not only affords a spectacular views of the ocean and spy-hopping gray whales, is where James Dean spent his evenings during the filming of East of Eden in 1954. Sue proudly offers the following:
- Pear-a-Mount Martini with Grey Goose pear vodka;
- Blue Velvet – “bizarre, salty and sweet” with Cabrito Tequila;
- Twentieth Century Sex Martini with Absolute Vodka;
- Sergio Leone Sangria – Italian wine “mixed with Spanish flavor”;
- Limelight Cosmopolitan with Captain Morgan rum, fresh lime, cranberry juice;
- Late Night Martini with Vanilla Stoli and much, much more.
The drinks will be offered during the four days of the film festival, May 17-20.
