Friday, February 29th only comes around once every four years—much like the presidential election. From leap year day through Sunday, March 2nd, hop into Town & Country at The Renaissance Mayflower Hotel where Sambonn Lek—legendary bartender and mix-meister creates a cocktail for the bissextile anum.Sam has reigned as chief concoctologist, part time magician and full time philanthropist for over 30 years. That’s a lot of days not even counting the years with one extra. And although his menu of 101 Martinis served daily at Town & Country are a lot of choices—like the days of this year—what’s one more?
To this end, Sam has created the Jump Ship Martini ($14.95)—a drink with that extra little something, featuring 2 oz Meyer Dark Rum and 1 oz Grand Marnier all served in a chilled Martini glass and garnished with a fresh hint of citrus in the form of orange peel—kind of like a warm sunset in a glass.There’s no better place than the hallowed halls of The Renaissance Mayflower Hotel’s Town & Country bar to spend an extra hour, linger for an extra bit of relaxation and to enjoy that extra day of the year with an extra special cocktail.
