The 12 Most Elegant Cocktail Bars in DC | Eater

"Bars can’t seem to get enough of the pre-Prohibition era, and The Gibson is no exception. The nondescript speakeasy on 14th Street built its cocktail menu on styles and techniques from the 1800s with a few seasonal twists. A recent look at the spring menu featured the vegetal and dry Under the Branches cocktail, with gin, sherry, genepy, and absinthe, and the crisp False Man with vodka, suze, lime, vanilla, celery bitters, and soda. Ever on trend, there’s a selection of mocktails for the sober curious. If you’re a beverage historian, request the Legends Selection special menu, a lineup of 11 cocktail classics that have endured for generations." - Vox Creative
