Cotton & Reed

"D.C.’s first rum distillery located in the Union Market district since 2016, offering a stand with best-selling cocktails including a neon-green Cocomotion slushie and rum-fueled Old Fashioned." - Tierney Plumb

"D.C.’s first rum distillery is known for some of the best frozen slushies in town. Mixologist Lukas Smith’s Cocomotion, made with white rum, lacto-coco, pineapple, and pandan, has earned a cult following in its nearly decade-long run on the menu. The bartenders also shake up stellar daiquiris with any of its rums." - Emily Venezky

"And when one door closes, another opens: the distillery space occupied by Bo & Ivy will be taken over by Cotton & Reed, marking the D.C. rum brand’s first expansion in production capabilities since its start in 2016. Operations will continue as usual at its original Union Market district facility, a warehouse-styled bar and distillery making white, spiced, and dark rums." - Tierney Plumb

"There’s a free Barbie-themed party at Cotton and Reed in Union Market on Friday, July 21, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Come dressed to impressed and enjoy a photo booth, themed cocktails, and live music." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"D.C.’s own rum distillery has some of the best tropical slushie drinks in town, like the Always Money with their dark rum, Allspice Dram, banana, and soursop, though it’s a fine place to sample a classic daiquiri, too." - Missy Frederick
