Cocktail Evita

TODAY IS THE DAY EVA PERON DIED
So today we are drinking a Evita

 

María Eva Perón died on this day in 1952, aged 33, leaving in her wake a whole wealth of movies, musicals, Madonna songs, not to mention poems and paintings.
Born poor and illegitimate in conservative Argentina, Eva rose from B-movie acting and radio to become First Lady of Argentina – and almost became Vice-President, too. Known nationwide by the Spanish shortening Evita, she may have been behind women’s acquisition of the right to vote in Argentina, and established a personal foundation to reduce poverty.
The Vatican has received several requests to make her into a saint. And, like Communist leaders, her body was mummified after her death and preserved in glycerine. Besides the movies and the musical, Evita inspired at least one cocktail. Why don’t you give it a try?
