Tryst on 18th Street in Adams Morgan Launches New Cocktail Menu

IMG_2251

And man am I drunk. Seriously I can’t read any of my notes at the moment. Tryst launched its new cocktail menu Thurs. evening. And it was great launch. I tried a few but by far my favorite was the “Demolition Derby (up) A riff on the classic Derby – gold rum, fresh lime juice and honey-spice syrup”. Beverage Director David Fritzler (pictured above), when pressed to recommend three favorites, suggested the Bitter Ex, Winona Ryeder and Ward 1. After the jump check out more photos and full list of cocktails.

the Tryst BAR Menu

Tryst is happy to introduce our new cocktail menu (and wonderful bartenders) to the public. Our 11 years in business have been an exciting time of growth and refinement for the craft beer and cocktail scenes as well as the specialty coffee industry, and we are excited to share these gains with the public.

This new menu brings skillfully made cocktails, derived from quality ingredients, out of the shadows of speakeasy style establishments and expensive hotel bars. We are proud to serve these noteworthy cocktails in the comfort of your neighborhood-gathering place. In addition to our emphasis on quality café cocktails, we have designed some refreshments geared toward daytime consumption.

Our new bartenders are J.P.Caceres, who has worked behind the bar and behind the scenes of many DC hot spots, including those of the Latin Concepts Group, for many years and Lana Labermeier, who brought DC the wonderful Big Bear Café and loves taxidermy chicks. They work with beverage director David Fritzler who has been at Tryst for 10 years after bartending in Portland, OR and is a member of the DC Craft Bartenders and US Barista guilds.
