Join us for the Artini Feature Cocktail Night TONIGHT!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Thursday, March 18 6:30pm–8:30pm	“The Proof”, oil on canvas, Jean-Louis Forain
Join Farmers & Fishers’ Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo as he shakes and pours his Artini cocktail, “Case in Point,” for the first time at the Artini feature TONIGHT. Jon is competing with 11 other top mixologists for the most artistic cocktail inspired by a piece from the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s William A. Clark Collection, and he’s certainly made a case for his masterful mixology skills with this one! Jon’s muse of the imbibed is Forain’s courtroom drama (above), where proof exonerates the innocent or condemns the guilty. He presents his own proof using the French, high-proof Remy Martin VSOP with a mix of raspberries, limes, orange bitters and ginger syrup topped with a Pernod absinthe foam….a complex yet carefully framed concoction that may have you telling the truth after just one—after all, there is no liquor with a higher proof than absinthe! Jon’s cocktail will be judged by a jury of his peers – you! Register your vote for “Case in Point” to find the judgment on this case. Then join the 1869 Society and the Artini Host Committee at the Artini benefit on Saturday, March 27th to help raise funds for the Corcoran’s Art Reach programs because all parties deserve to face their accusers. À la vôtre!

The City Paper Wants You to Drink Here

Friday, December 11th, 2009

We were just TICKLED when the DC City Paper ran a feature on our flirty cocktail napkins this past Monday online, and we thought, Hey, why not make the most of this and reward all City Paper readers (and our guests) with a fun way to see the napkins in question firsthand.

Just show us the City Paper feature, or this post, on your mobile device, or if you have absolutely no other means, you can print out the story and bring it into the Farmers & Fishers bar anytime between now and December 31 and we’ll give you a $5 card towards the purchase of a cocktail in January. (doesn’t have to be a cocktail, you can use it towards food, too – eating also will require the use of a cocktail napkin).

Muuuuahhh! (that’s a big kiss to the City Paper, from us XOXO)
