Harvesting the Finest in Eco-Friendly Food and Drink

Today, Washington Post Express ran a two-page spread on the resurgence of rum cocktails. The article featured insight and quotes from some of DC’s most well-known mixologists, including Farmers & Fishers’ own, Jon Arroyo.

According to Jon, “Contrary to popular belief, tiki cocktails are not about the paper umbrellas and funky glassware.”

Check out the full article and photos of Jon in action at the Farmers & Fishers bar. His Painkiller tiki cocktail recipe is also available online.

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.

Farmers & Fishers is tickled pink by rave reviews from DC’s premier online survival guide for the modern, cosmo woman. City Girls World is an all encompassing blog run by two friends, Jess and Christie, that gives the real dirt on anything and everything the District has to offer. The ladies indulged into our chocolate-dipped bacon lollis AND the chocolate-dipped donuts while enjoying the scenic view from our fountain-side patio. We were especially pleased to hear that they “are delighted good food has finally FINALLY come to the waterfront”. We’d have to agree- they’ve left us blushing!
