Toast 'Ultraviolet' Vampire's KissPublished on: 03/02/2006
KISS OF THE VAMPIRE
As long as they retain their bite, vampire movies will have a place in Hollywood. On March 5, futuristic fang fest "Ultraviolet" opens. As theatergoers cheer for star Milla Jovovich, toast cinema's legacy of blood suckers with the Vampire's Kiss from www.webtender.com. With vodka, gin, vermouth and tequila, it sounds more potent than a stake through Dracula's heart.

HOT SCOTCH
Call yourself a Scotch connoisseur? Then fill your glass alongside other fans at the 13th annual Single Malt & Scotch Whisky Extravaganza. It takes place at the Ritz-Cartlon Buckhead (3434 Peachtree Road N.E., Atlanta) on March 9 with more than 60 single malt and Scotch whiskies up for sample. The tasting is paired with a dinner buffet, followed by complimentary imported cigars. Tickets for the event, hosted by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Robb Report, are $95 for society members, $105 for the public.
BOTTLE UP AND GO
We're all about time management. So one look at the Margarita King, and it had us at "buenos dias." This premixed, high-end margarita comes from the mind of Giovanni Fernandez, a former restaurateur with P.T. Barnum-like marketing savvy. The Margarita King is made of Epsolon blue agave double-distilled tequila, orange liqueur, and lemon and lime juice. While the 750 ml bottles go for $19.99 each, there's a silver lining — it's 34 proof, higher than most premixed margaritas.
