Join the Liz Taylor Chocolate Martini Fundraiser at Tryst
The nightlife of Puerto Vallarta is an essential part of its identity, drawing people from around the world to its vibrant streets and energetic venues. A new addition to this scene is The Liz Taylor Chocolate Martini Fundraiser at Tryst, an offering from Tryst available at their Puerto Vallarta location. This cocktail is a tribute to a Hollywood figure whose connection to the city runs deeper than just celebrity glamour.
Join us for the spectacular Liz Taylor Chocolate Martini Fundraiser at Tryst and experience the magic of this iconic cocktail.
In the 1960s, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton made Puerto Vallarta their home, transforming it from a sleepy fishing village into a global destination. Their scandalous romance, a subject of immense public fascination, put the city on the world map. This period not only established Puerto Vallarta as a haven for the famous but also created the foundation for its modern tourism industry and international flair. The legacy of their time here is still visible, from the iconic “Bridge of Love” at their former home, Casa Kimberly, to the city’s overall atmosphere of romance and creative freedom.
The Liz Taylor Chocolate Martini Fundraiser at Tryst not only celebrates a Hollywood legend but also honors her philanthropic spirit.
This connection to the city is what makes the new cocktail offering from Tryst so relevant. The drink, inspired by a recipe Elizabeth Taylor reportedly enjoyed, is more than just a nod to her glamorous past. It’s a bridge to her enduring philanthropic work. A portion of the proceeds from each martini sold—$1, to be exact—goes directly to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF). This initiative links the city’s lively nightlife with a cause that was central to Taylor’s life.
Taylor was one of the first high-profile celebrities to speak out about the HIV/AIDS crisis, using her platform to raise awareness and fight stigma. She founded ETAF in 1991 to support direct care, education, and advocacy for those affected by the virus. Her work was characterized by a genuine moral courage that resonated with communities in need, including those in Puerto Vallarta. The city, particularly its gay zone, has been a sanctuary for many and a focal point for both celebration and community support. The partnership between Tryst and ETAF honors this history, allowing nightlife patrons to contribute to the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS while enjoying a drink that celebrates a local icon.
This initiative from Tryst Hospitality demonstrates a commitment to more than just entertainment. It reflects an understanding that Puerto Vallarta’s nightlife is also a space for community, solidarity, and philanthropy. Founder Tristan Schukraft’s statement—“This cocktail is more than just a toast, it’s a tribute… She stood beside our community when others wouldn’t”—underscores this point. This act of giving is rooted in a profound sense of trust, both in the legacy of Taylor’s work and in the community’s willingness to support it. It’s a reciprocal relationship: patrons of Tryst can enjoy a high-quality experience while trusting that a part of their purchase will be used for a meaningful cause, a cause that has deep historical and emotional ties to the city of Puerto Vallarta. Come join us to celebrate the Liz Taylor Chocolate Martini Fundraiser at Tryst.
