On the cocktail front, bar manager Brett Robison and Chef/Owner Danny Wells experimented with making a house-made bitter lemon syrup which is featured in three of the new drinks. By borrowing from Belgian brewing techniques, they created a syrup with a balance of lemon aroma and bitterness. The lemon peels are spread out over a wide flat surface, and then boiling hot simple syrup is poured over the peels, which flash cooks them, but leaves the essential oils in tact. He then cools and strains the liquid, and keeps it in a covered container for 24 hours.
He uses the syrup in three new cocktails including: the Bitter Presbyterian, made with George T. Dickel Sour Mash Whiskey, Domaine de Canton, bitter lemon syrup, a Peychaud’s float, lime juice, and mint. The second cocktail is a “NY/DC G&T” made with Perry’s Tot Navy Strength Gin from NY, Jack Rudy Tonic, bitter lemon syrup, and lemon, orange and lime wheels. The third is called the Virgo, and is made in the style of a Sazerac, with Catoctin Creek 1757 Brandy, Bitter Lemon Syrup, Peychaud’s Bitters, Angostura Bitters and lemon peel.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
