Marlow’s Tavern Throws Six-Week-Long Midsummer Cocktail Party Beginning June 23 with Inspired Drinks, Fare and a South Africa Trip Giveaway

What a life. Summer in Atlanta, winter in South Africa. Marlow’s Tavern spans the best flavors of both hemispheres during a six-week-long Midsummer Cocktail Party stretching from Tuesday, June 23 to Monday, August 3. Toast summer with festive handcrafted cocktails, craft beers and bold South African wines while reviewing a menu of authentic South African cuisine created with party partner 10 Degrees South and registering for a chance to win an eight-day trip to Cape Town, South Africa. One lucky winner and a guest will jet off to experience the culture driving Marlow’s midsummer celebration. The rest of us can unpack a culinary lunch or dinner adventure of South African-inspired fare such as peri peri firecracker eggs; watermelon and buffalo mozzarella salad; daily cocktail party flatbread; and the classic “Gatsby” of grilled filet mignon, leafy greens, roma tomato and thin red onion on a toasted roll slathered with peri peri aioli. A must-eat South African sweet is the traditional baked malva cake, a cream-soaked pound cake with Baileys Irish Cream and apricot jam. Marlow’s regular menu favorites also will be available. South African wines include Riebeek Creek Cellars 2013 chenin blanc, Boschendal chardonnay/pinot noir, KWV pinotage and Mulderbosch Faithful Hound red blend. For those seeking summery cocktails, Georgia peach lemonade, The Gin Job and watermelon margarita fit the bill. Midsummer night’s dreaming about the trip giveaway?
