Washington, D.C. - June 30, 2015: Dram & Grain bartender Lukas B. Smith prepared one of the night's signature drinks, an "Oh, Canada," made with Blackadder Peat Reek whiskey, lemongrass Infused Aviation Gin, and Cocchi di Torino vermouth. Every Tuesday Lukas B. Smith creates a unique cocktail list for that day only. That night, Tuesday June 30th, the theme revolved around Canada Day. At midnight everyone would raise their glass and cheer Canada.
Dram & Grain is the cozy basement cocktail bar inside the expansive, whiskey focused Washington D.C. whiskey bar The Jack Rose. Reservations are needed for seats in the Dram & Grain on Fridays and Saturdays. Tuesday thru Thursday it's first come first served, but you still need the host to escort you past the "employees only" security locked door beyond the bathrooms.
