Would you try the Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini now being served to benefit AIDS research?
Elizabeth Taylor's Signature Cocktail Makes a Charitable Comeback
The Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini is enjoying a modern revival—mixing old Hollywood glamour with a charitable twist. Originally said to have been concocted on the set of *Giant* with Rock Hudson, this dessert-like cocktail combines vodka, chocolate liqueur, and syrup. It was reportedly a favorite of the iconic actress and has become synonymous with her indulgent yet classy persona. Now, Tryst Hospitality is serving the drink at popular venues like The Abbey in West Hollywood and in Puerto Vallarta, with $1 from every order donated to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF). The cocktail is more than a treat—it’s a tribute to a star who championed AIDS awareness long before it was mainstream. This updated version is both a nostalgic homage and a meaningful way to support a cause Taylor held dear.
