Bernard Madoff's alleged $50 billion fraud may have left a bitter taste in the mouths of thousands of wealthy investors, but in this corner of Chile's capital, the U.S. financier is the toast of the town.
At Opera Catedral, a swank bar near Santiago's financial center, customers can indulge or drown their sorrows in cleverly named cocktails such as "Madoff Nectar," "War Street" and "Down Jones."
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) BARTENDER JUAN REYES:
"With the idea of weathering the crisis, this menu was made thinking of new drinks that are also economical. The prices are very attractive for the quality of drinks we are making."
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) CUSTOMER ANGELICA QUEZADA:
"The names of the drinks are up to the minute-- they are what everyone is talking about and it's innovative."
