This is part of Ben Paris Cocktails Vol I. These were some of the drinks on our opening menu almost a year ago. I just had my workaversary with Columbia Hospitality and though this first drink I created for Ben Paris would be a good place to start.
In 1798,
Joseph Hopkinson rearranged and wrote new lyrics to "The Presidents
March", itself written and performed at George Washington's inauguration,
for the song Hail Columbia! Hail Columbia was one of the
unofficial national anthems of America until "The Star-Spangled
Banner" was named so in 1931. Hail Columbia is still played upon
the entrance of the Vice President of these United States.
This
one is for Uncle Joe.
Buzzing
with local Rosemary infused vodka, this
sour unifies locally made Italian Amaro and limoncello
and tangles it all up with Oregon Iris liqueur till you are
floating on a cloud tufted with Seattle's own Sun
Liquor Rhubarb bitters. All Hail Columbia!
