Harvesting the Finest in Eco-Friendly Food and Drink

Come support Farmers & Fishers / Founding Farmers Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo as he serves up his inspired cocktail “Harold and Maude” influenced by Delacroix’s 1862 Tiger and Snake oil painting on canvas. Jon is a cheftestant in the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s annual ARTINI event, an exhibition of Washington’s top 12 mixologists, competing to craft premier cocktails inspired by a select work from the Corcoran collection.

At first glance, Jon “was stuck by the opposing forces portrayed in the painting” and was inspired by clash of a snake against a tiger, and their surprising and unconventional beauty when paired together. He then crafted what he calls “Harold and Maude”, a cocktail inspired off yet another unusual, mismatched couple featuring seemingly incompatible ingredients that become brilliant when shaken together.

This April 2, the ARTINI cocktail party celebrates its fourth year at the Corcoran Gallery of Art from 8:30pm to midnight and showcases the inspired cocktails of all 12 mixologists, with an open beer and wine bar, hors d’oeuvres and desserts, music, and dancing. The winning ARTINI will be announced during the evening. It’s not too late to cast your vote for “Harold and Maude” to support Jon!
