The Best Old Fashioneds to Sip On in D.C. | Eater DC

"With a spectacular Roman cocktail menu (available now through the end of the summer) it makes sense that beverage director Jonathan Henriquez insists on putting on a show for every guest. For the menu that took him over a year to put together, he made sure that every drink has a performative element and he made no exception here. As a small plume of smoke billows out from the top of the skull-shaped goblet, you’ll notice a custom-made ice cube (courtesy of the Ice Queen) with a picture of Mount Vesuvius frozen into the center. Henriquez even made sure it was laminated so guests could bring it home as a memento. The drink itself leans on the delightfully smoky side thanks to a port-finished Woodinville bourbon, porcini mushrooms, and Ardberg Uigeadail." - Graham Steinberg
