In honor of National LBGT Month and Bruce Jenner’s debut as Caitlyn Jenner, Pounds and Ounces NYC pub is debuting their new cocktail, “Call Me Caitlyn,” for the month of June.

The distinctive combination of Famous Grouse Scotch, lemon juice, honey, Chambord, garnished with a mint leaf and pomegranate seeds is a drink based on a spirit considered masculine (which is medal-winning and famous), that has been feminized with honey and Chambord (with a dash of lemon juice for sass), and accessorized by mint and pomegranate to become a stylish cocktail with a striking transitional color palette…and a purpose.

The sale of the “Call Me Caitlyn” will benefit THE CENTER, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center, which is the heart of New York City’s LBGT community, providing programs for health, wellness and community connection;  two dollars from each drink sold at $13 will be donated by Pound & Ounces to the organization.

The drink debuted at Pounds and Ounces on June 10, and will be served throughout the remainder of the month. Be sure to stop by this spectacular place (especially for brunch!) and try out this delicious new cocktail!
