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.

The City Paper Wants You to Drink Here

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)

Jon shows how to make a caipirinha

It’s no surprise that Farmers & Fishers’ Chief Mixologist Jon Arroyo gets invited to all kinds of different mixology / cocktail / spirited events, so it was great fun to see him as a featured speaker at “Happy Birthday Mr. Daiquiri” event hosted by the Museum of the American Cocktail.

On November 19, Jon joined fellow mixologists and daiquiri experts Jeff “Beachbum” Berry, Derek Brown of The Gibson, and Phil Greene to present the classic and classically inspired versions of the daquiri and the modern variations of it.

A packed (!) room at the Occidental on a cool, rainy night was enlightened (and imbibed!) with the stories behind the drinks and the recipes that each of the presenters shared. As the Cabana Cachaca brand ambassador for the region, Jon shared his daiquiri version of the Caipirinha, a light and tasty, minty concoction easily made at home.

Cheers to Farmers & Fishers Chief Mixologist, Jon Arroyo, for being named the Washington, DC region Brand Ambassador for Cabana Cachaça, the finest, purest cachaça in the market today. As the signature spirit of Brazil, cachaca is coming into its own in the US, not only as a fine rum product, but as a very smooth and versatile elixir, authentic to the core. At Farmers & Fishers and at sister restaurant Founding Farmers, Cabana is used to make premium caipirinhas, and a few other special cocktails from the inspired mixology of Jon. Cabana is handcrafted in small batches, double-distilled in copper pot sills and mellowed for up to nine months in Brasilian jequitiba rosa wood barrels.
