Hello Cocktails!

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

Suds and Spirits at District Space

On the lookout for weekend plans, an acquaintance reached out over Instagram (I take pictures too folks) to inform me that the pros from the 1 Ounce or 2 Cocktail Club had set up residence at District Space to sling cocktails incorporating beer from the Flying Dog Brewery. She had me at beer! The late… Read More Suds and Spirits at District Space

High Art at the Columbia Room

It was on a freakishly balmy early January evening in Blagden Alley that we headed to the Columbia Room to sip through their fall tasting menu; temperature wise, it was eerily reminiscent of the last time I’d visited the bar in August. But we cast off our global warming concerns and threw ourselves into the 5-cocktail… Read More High Art at the Columbia Room

Christmas Cocktails Came Late This Year

My little Christmas cocktail party was all set – early December Saturday reserved, tons of alcohol procured, and a dozen homemade ingredients in the preparation process. But one winter morning I woke up with a horrible fever, and my holiday season was transformed into an fierce battle between my immune system and a hellspawn virus.… Read More Christmas Cocktails Came Late This Year

Paris je t’aime

“There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.” – Vincent van Gogh Upon returning from my week-long trip to Paris, I felt silly telling friends how wonderful it was. The last… Read More Paris je t’aime

"Whatever satisfies the soul is truth." As my time in DC grows short, I'm taking the time to visit the stalwarts of the scene - always a fun chummy evening at Off the Record. This is a "Pear Martini" with @greygoose, St.Germain, Chambord, and pineapple juice.
"I may be drunk by morning but that will not do any good. I shall take the train to Paris anyway." Echoes of cozy Paris @lutecedc, this is the "Club de Trefle" with gin, blackberries, and lime.
"It was the kind of town that made you feel like Humphrey Bogart: you came in on a bumpy little plane, and, for some mysterious reason, got a private room with balcony overlooking the town and the harbor; then you sat there and drank until something happened." Run, don't walk to @stjamesdc - killer food, including some of the best jerk chicken I've ever had. This baby is the "Pineapple Chow" with white rum, pineapple, lime, pepper, and shado beni.
"...an America fervently devoted to the quaint goals of working together and getting along. Of course, this America does exist. It's called Canada." Had a wonderful weekend in one of my favorite cities, Montreal. Among other things, I got to sip custom cocktails at the spectacular @thecloakroombar and attend my first @f1 grand prix - can't wait to return.
"There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one." Visited the splendid @shotodc and enjoyed a "Lychee martini" with gin, sake, lychee, and lime.
"I was delighted to see you again, and forgot for the moment that all happiness is fleeting." So wonderful to see @shinobipaws again after a 2 year hiatus - thanks to @mtdefiance for the opportunityto try their Gin Noveau!
