Beat the Heat with a Cocktail from Founding Farmers

by Chad on July 22, 2011

In case you haven’t heard, Founding Farmers has an amazing bar program. In fact, they won the RAMMY award for best  Beverage/Mixology Program this year! Founding Farmers is one my favorite spots to take out of town guests visiting DC. They have a huge menu, it’s very affordable, and the food and drinks are really fantastic. I had early Sunday dinner at Founding Farmers recently before heading over to see Wicked at the Kennedy Center (note: go see Wicked, it was awesome!). I really enjoyed my Arctic Char, but I LOVED my Cucumber Cocktail.

We tracked down the recipe for our EatMore DrinkMore readers. I think it’s the perfect drink for this ridiculous weather. If you have to leave the house today, hopefully, it’s just to head to the liquor store.

You’ll probably need to head to the store to pick up a bottle of Domaine Canton to make the Organic Cucumber Cocktail, however, this drink is so delicious the bottle won’t last long.
