Sip Like a President: Bourbon Steak DC at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC Introduces Presidential-Themed Cocktails

Celebrate the 60th Presidential Inauguration at Bourbon Steak DC at Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC, where cocktails unite history and craftsmanship. From January 16 to January 23, 2025, enjoy a curated selection of specialty cocktails inspired by the favourite beverages of three iconic presidents: John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan. Each expertly crafted drink reflects their unique tastes, offering a memorable way to toast to the Inauguration and the spirit of American tradition.

No matter one’s perspective, guests and locals alike are invited to sip, savour, and enjoy the rich stories behind every thoughtfully crafted cocktail:

• Jack Rose Daiquiri – This cocktail pays tribute to America’s 35th president, combining JFK's nickname "Jack" with the timeless sophistication of a classic Daiquiri for a presidential twist. His fondness for the drink was inspired by First Lady Jackie Kennedy’s signature recipe, which elevated the traditional mix of lime juice, white rum, and simple syrup with a few drops of Falernum - a sweet liqueur infused with lime, ginger, cloves, almonds, and nutmeg.
• Rough Rider Julep – A lively nod to Theodore Roosevelt's famous Rough Riders, this name captures his adventurous and bold spirit while perfectly complementing the refreshing minty classic. Roosevelt crafted his Mint Julep using fresh mint from the White House garden, following a recipe that includes muddled mint leaves with a splash of water and a sugar cube, rye whiskey, brandy, and a sprig of fresh mint for garnish.
• Gipper’s Grove – Paying homage to Ronald Reagan’s California roots, this refreshing concoction mixes vodka with a splash of grenadine or sweet vermouth, orange juice, and a touch of sparkling water.

"Washington, DC is a city where politics are always front and centre, but we wanted to create something fun and approachable," says Andres Sweek, General Manager of Bourbon Steak DC. "Our presidential cocktails are a toast to history and a chance to enjoy an exceptional drink, no matter your perspective."

Guests are invited to discover these creative cocktails and the stories behind them. Available for a limited time, these specialty drinks are the perfect complement to Bourbon Steak's renowned menu, featuring prime cuts, seafood, and elevated American cuisine. Enjoy these signature cocktails in the bar and lounge or as part of the dining experience.
