In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and former chef Charlotte Nelson, Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q in Candler Park and Big Tex Decatur have been donating $1 from every ‘American Woman’ cocktail sold, exclusively in both restaurants, throughout the month.

The American Woman cocktail is being sold for $6.50 and features American Spirit Whiskey, Peach Schnapps, fresh squeezed lime and lemon juice, grenadine and a splash of soda. American Spirit Whiskey is a distinctive and mixable white whiskey, home-grown in Atlanta.

She worked with many of Atlanta’s great chefs and top restaurants including Atmosphere, Taurus, Canoe, and the Georgian Terrace Hotel’s Livingston Restaurant + Bar.  Charlotte joined the team at Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q in 2009, and became head chef in late 2011.
