ZEPPO MARX INSPIRES NEW COCKTAIL

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- Zeppo Marx fans have a reason to be drunk with joy: The forgotten Marx Brother has inspired a new cocktail. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Zeppo's birth and, in honor, a bartender in Jamaica, New York, has created a drink called the "Zeppo." Bartending Zeppo zealot Frank Bland says his Zeppo Cocktail combines one ounce each of Irish whiskey, vermouth and Grand Marnier with a quarter-ounce of lemon juice. Bland says the concoction is a lot like Zeppo himself: "Underestimated at first glance, but leaving an unforgettable impact." The Marx Brother-inspired mixologist hopes other bartenders pick up on the comedic cocktail before February 25, the 100th anniversary of Zeppo's birth.
