Join us for the annual DC Rickey Cocktail Competition!

What's a Rickey? It is DC's official cocktail -- from the Washington Post,

"in the mid-1880s, [a] bartender named George A. Williamson apparently created the rickey at a famous/infamous bar named Shoomaker's, located on E Street NW, just off Pennsylvania Avenue. It was the go-to drink of a loyal Shoomaker's patron and Democratic lobbyist named Col. Joseph Kyle Rickey, who is often credited as the co-inventor of the cocktail. (The colonel preferred bourbon, but gin soon became the spirit of choice in the cocktail.)"

Celebrate the Rickey this summer with unlimited Rickey cocktails from bartenders all over the city!

A panel of judges will decide the top winner, along with a crowd choice vote.

Passed hors d'oeuvres will also be served.

Cheers!
