Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails-Philly style!
Mission Statement from the Mothership, LUPEC Pittsburgh:
In a post-millennium world of beer and prepackaged Chex Mix,,, LUPEC works tirelessly to breed, raise, and release cocktails that are endangered or even believed to be extinct.
The collecting of anachronistic recipes by women, and the resulting creation of endangered cocktails in an all woman setting is intended to achieve the following goals.
To create a secular "coven-like" atmosphere in which Classy Broads of today can invoke and honor the spirits of their Forebroads.
To continue the 150 year American tradition of dangerous women calling themselves Ladies and getting together in groups, clubs, and societies to work undercover while they chipped away at the patriarchy.
To protect the collective Joie de Vivre of LUPEC members by assuring them at least one good party a month
To encourage the accumulation and use of vintage serving and barware.
**The Philly chapter just launched under the tutelage of Miss Italian Stinger, of LUPEC Denver Fame. We are still getting our business together and hope to be rocking out asap.
