The Parched March 2012 Menu

One of the tastiest highlights of our annual charity bar odyssey is the drinks. Of course. 

A journey around our participating bars is a safari for your palate: adventurous, unforgettable - and with more exotic creatures at large than the African Savannah. From divine wines such as Nanny Goat Pinot Noir to unique cocktail creations such as the Eager Beaver to party-starting funsters like the Pink Pussy, there's an animal for every occasion. Each time you buy one of these drinks in March, the host bar donates to our charity, so there's never been a better reason to buy your friends a round.

Feast your eyes here on the 2012 ABC of Parched March Special Drinks:
