On June 22, Alembic Cocktail Catering, the brain-child of renowned Farmers & Fishers Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo, hosted an open house in the Sunflower Room. Event planning professionals and DC concierges gathered for a late afternoon of hor d’oeuvres, refreshing cocktails and networking.

Arroyo’s expert mixologists led step-by-step demonstrations and shook up a number of signature drinks including a particularly intriguing concoction (featuring a surprise ingredient, egg whites) dubbed Taste of the World.

Alembic’s fresh fruit daiquiri was another hit made with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and Peruvian rum.

Jon also showcased a new cocktail named Mad Men & Women, which was invented exclusively for clients at a DC-based law firm and inspired by the stylish and retro television drama, Mad Men.

In addition to sampling unique cocktails, a special tasting menu was created by the chefs at Farmers & Fishers, including Ahi Tuna Rollups, Chocolate-covered Bacon Lollipops, Miniburgers and Fresh Mozzarella Bruschetta skewers.

More than 50 DC celebrity chefs and mixologists turned out to serve their signature dishes for Chef’s Best on June 14. This annual fundraiser marked the 20^th anniversary of Food & Friends, a charitable organization that provides food and nutrition counseling to people with life-challenging illnesses.

Jon Arroyo, Chief Mixologist for Farmers & Fishers and Alembic Cocktail Catering, mixed up a refreshing summer cocktail. The Alembic Summer Punch Royale is a delicious combination of Pisco, Cointreau, pineapple juice, lime, lemon and a little sparkling wine.

Executive Chef Al Nappo, from sister restaurant Founding Farmers, and his team served Farmers & Fishers favorites  gazpacho with tortilla strips and chocolate-covered bacon lollipops. From Founding Farmers, Chef Nappo prepared house-made blue crab ravioli in tomato basil butter with goat cheese.

The chefs, food, cocktails and the auction surely made this a night to remember.

We were thrilled to host the special Memorial Day Weekend segment of The District Dish last week hosted by the one and only K Street Kate! Kate and her co-hosts raved over our enormous Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Burger as well as the infamously decadent Chocolate Bacon Lollipops. The Dish featured special guest Tim Holbert of the American Veterans Center, which organizes DC’s National Memorial Day Parade. We think Farmers & Fishers was the perfect location for the District Dish to recognize those who have sacrificed their lives for our country by enjoying the delicious foods harvested fresh from the fields of hardworking American farmers.

Hope you have a very Happy Memorial Day!
