From an email:

“The new menu, titled “10 Years of Columbia Room,” celebrates the restaurant’s 10th Anniversary with a curated selection of the team’s favorite Columbia Room drinks from the past decade.

Columbia Room owner Derek Brown, along with Beverage Manager Paul Taylor, Beverage Director JP Fetherston, and previous Head Bartender Suzy Critchlow, wanted to create a menu that pays homage the cocktail bar’s legacy and the immense feeling of pride for what they’ve created. Pulling from menus as early as its inception in 2010 (when it just was a ten-seat bar in the back of The Passenger), the “10 Years of Columbia Room” menu features four courses of cocktails from the bar’s storied past, including:

The Getaway Two Ways

The Getaway
Blackstrap Rum, Cynar 70, Cane Sugar, Lemon, Salt

Spirit Free Getaway
Chinotto, Maple Shrub, Lemon, Aquafaba, Salt

Into Great Silence
Fino Sherry, Green Chartreuse, House Orgeat, Jus Vert, Lemon, Grapefruit, Bitter Truth Grapefruit Bitters

Atlantic Ocean
Bruichladdich, Rojo Vermouth, Heirloom Tomato Cordial, Transatlantic Bitters

Birthday Cake Ramos Fizz
Bols Genever, Madeira, Cream, Egg, Citrus, Birthday Cake Tincture, Perrier

Each cocktail is presented alongside a food pairing from Columbia Room’s Culinary Director, chef Johnny Spero. These small bites offer a complement to the flavors of each beverage.

The Tasting Room’s four-course menu is $85 per person plus tax and gratuity. Seatings can be booked through www.columbiaroomdc.com. Columbia Room’s Spirits Library and Punch Garden have open seating and reservations are not required; these spaces feature an a la carte menu different from the Tasting Room.

Additional themed menus will follow suit in celebration of the milestone this year; including a menu curated by top beverage professionals from around the globe, beverages crafted by regulars, and the future of Columbia Room.”
