Fairmont Hotels & Resorts introduces new golf-themed cocktails

TORONTO, Ontario, Canada -- Perfect "fore" golf enthusiasts and cocktail
connoisseurs alike, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is inviting guests to
swing into summer with a rousing new line-up of signature cocktails
inspired by the hotel company's legendary golf courses.

The new list of exclusive cocktails, which owe their birth to the
signature holes that have made playing a round at Fairmont golf
courses a time-honored tradition, includes the Mayakoba Colada, an
exotic concoction blended to reflect the unique attributes of The
Reef, a razor thin Par 3 at the Greg Norman designed El Camaleón at
the Fairmont Mayakoba. Certain to be another favorite will be the
Devil's Spruce, an elusive blend of Belvedere Cytrus, freshly squeezed
lime juice, mint and juniper, which has been mixed-up to honor The
Fairmont Banff Springs' infamous Devil's Cauldron, the picturesque 4th
hole on the resort's Stanley Thompson designed course.

From mid-May to the end of October, guests will have an opportunity to
sample their favorite from the new golf inspired cocktail menu that
also includes libations like the Sea Breeze Cosmo, Cleopatra, Hole in
One and the Turnberry Mojito.

Part of a larger spirits program being undertaken by the brand, aimed
at restoring the age-old art of the cocktail, the exclusive new menu,
which features the creative flavors from Moët Hennessy USA and Grand
Marnier, blends premium spirits with the freshest ingredients
available to create a bewitching line-up of drinks.
