Hello Cocktails!

Books and booze. Mostly in DC and Virginia, but I get around.

Month: August 2017

A Trip Down Daiquiri Lane at the Columbia Room

So there was big news in the DC cocktail world recently – our very own Columbia Room, sort of DC’s de-facto flagship, won Best American Cocktail Bar at the Spirits Award last month! With DC’s sports teams failing in often spectacular fashion to bring home a title for over two decades, this is a welcome… Read More A Trip Down Daiquiri Lane at the Columbia Room

“I am for those who believe in loose delights, I share the midnight orgies of young men, I dance with the dancers and drink with the drinkers.” Enjoying the beautiful snifters from @thehourshop and drinking the "Alabazam, Virginia" with @catoctincreek Virginia brandy, cointreau, lemon, simple syrup, and angostura bitters.
“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering 'it will be happier'...” A "Martini" with @thekyotodistillery Ki No Bi gin, @maisonnoillyprat, and a twist. Have a happy New Year's everyone - I'd need about 1000 of these to drink away the awfulness of 2020, so let's just have this one and hope for a better 2021.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." So happy to see this season arrive and this year go! No better way to ring it in than with a bunch o' punch, the "Pear Thee Well" with @haymansgin Old Tom, @catoctincreek 1757 Brandy, spiced pear purée (cinnamon/brown sugar/cognac/cloves), Ca Dei Zago prosecco, lemon, and ginger simple syrup.
"Trees scream and drop bright leaves." Dreaming of New England color and doing my best to embrace the fall spirit with a "Hudson Valley Cooler" with @snd_spirits rye, apple cider, maple syrup, and lemon.
"It may seem contradictory, but in the languid tropics one spends more time contemplating those great good things of sound and sight and smell." Bananas got me in a tiki mood, so I made a "Crazed Banana" with rum, banana syrup, macadamia orgeat, lime, and tiki bitters, and a "Dirty Habit Daiquiri" with rum, banana syrup, oj, simple, and angostura bitters. #dramhound
"Not drunk in any positive sense but just enough to be careless." Trying to ride out this heat wave with some Daiquiri variants including the "Original," the "Hemingway," and the "El Floridita." #dramhound
