Sublime in Fort Lauderdale is hosting a Vegan Drinks happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30 tonight. I have to admit that the name threw me a bit -- most drinks are vegan, right?
So I asked over at South Florida's most famous vegetarian restaurant. Turns out, yes, the drinks are vegan, but Vegan Drinks is actually a mixer for vegans, as in, vegans drink lots of liquor and chat each other up about the tofurkey they devoured last week or the latest vegan shoes by Stella McCartney. Drinks will be two-for-one, and appetizers are buy-one-get-one-half-off.
And what exactly do vegans drink? Sublime sent over a list, and it appears they drink some great-sounding cocktails. Here's what will be offered
tonight:
Espresso Martini
Tru Organic Vanilla vodka, Kahlua, espresso

Charbay pomegranate vodka, pomegranate juice, Pama pomegranate liqueur, simple syrup, fresh lemon
