Tryst Hospitality is proud to unveil The Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini, a rich, indulgent signature cocktail available now at select venues across its  portfolio. This new iteration of The Elizabeth Taylor Martini was inspired by a cocktail Elizabeth  Taylor and Rock Hudson created while filming the movie “Giant” in 1955 after long days on set, a nod to her iconic Hollywood legacy. The Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini is made with Tito’s  Vodka, Kahlua and chocolate syrup, shaken over ice and served up.  

In partnership with The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF), $1 from every cocktail sold  will go directly to support ETAF’s mission to achieve an AIDS-free world. 

The Abbey Food & Bar in West Hollywood, where Elizabeth Taylor would visit, has long served  as the foundation of Tryst’s relationship with ETAF. The partnership has supported annual  events including The Abbey’s World AIDS Day Tree Lighting and other community fundraisers.  Today, Tryst Hospitality is expanding that commitment to include all of its venues: 

• The Abbey and The Chapel at The Abbey (West Hollywood) 
• The Tryst Puerto Vallarta 
• The Tryst Fire Island (opening next year) 
• The Tryst San Juan (currently under renovation) 
• Circo San Juan (opening Fall 2025) 
• The Blue Whale and Pavilion (Open now in Fire Island Pines) 

Each participating venue guarantees a minimum annual donation to ETAF, regardless of  cocktail sales, with matching support from featured spirit brands encouraged where possible. 

“This cocktail is more than just a toast, it’s a tribute,” said Tristan Schukraft, Founder of Tryst  Hospitality. “Elizabeth Taylor talked about AIDS publicly before anyone else would. She hosted  the first fundraisers, stood beside our community when others wouldn’t, and used her voice  when it mattered most. In life, she was our champion, and in death, she continues to be. This is  our way of honoring her legacy and continuing the fight to end HIV in America.” 

“We’re honored to continue Elizabeth’s legacy through this meaningful partnership with The  Abbey and Tryst Hospitality,” said Cathy Brown, Executive Director of The Elizabeth Taylor  AIDS Foundation. “Elizabeth believed in using every platform to raise awareness and funds for  the fight against HIV. This initiative brings her spirit into spaces where community thrives, and  we’re grateful to Tryst Hospitality for helping us carry her mission forward.” 

The Elizabeth Taylor Chocolate Martini is available now. Guests are encouraged to ask their  bartenders for details.
