The cocktails will be available through the end of March, according to social media posts by participating businesses.<\/p>\n According to the group, its focus is on providing education and mentorship opportunities to women in food-related industries across 40 chapters spanning five countries.<\/p>\n In the Sacramento area, 17 restaurants and bars have mixed up unique, limited-time beverages to support the philanthropic group. Some participating restaurants have posted their creations on social media ahead of time.<\/p>\n Ella Dining Room and Bar in downtown Sacramento created a pale purple \u201cFlowers for Les Dames\u201d drink<\/a>, featuring gin, vermouth, lemon, vanilla and passionfruit soda, garnished with a miniature bouquet of pansies.
