Happy game day Spirit Fam! Today we’re highlighting on of our longest partners and features for our upcoming Bar Crawl, Catoctin Creek Distilling and their newest release, the Shenandoah Gin with flavors of Paw Paw and Strawberry!
Catoctin Creek, located in Purcellville, Virginia, was founded in 2009 and has grown to be the home of the most awarded spirit in Virginia: their Roundstone Rye. Becky Harris is one of their founders and their Chief Distiller since they opened. A chemical engineer by trade, she uses only the finest local and organic grains and fruit to create delicious and clean spirits, and received the Legacy Achievement Award in 2023 from Bourbon Women in Louisville, Kentucky for her lifetime of work to create great spirits and pave a way for other women in the industry to grow with her.
We’ll be featuring their Shenandoah Gin in one of our original cocktails, the Ode to Washington Spirit. The Spirit cocktail was designed in honor of their last Championship Run in 2021, and has been around through a few of our pop up menus throughout the years, and so we’re excited to bring it back for this event! It has Catoctin Creek Shenandoah Gin, St. Germaine Elderflower, Rose Water, Raspberry, Lime Nuun Electrolytes and Prosecco, topped with rose petals to give the Spirits all of their flowers.
On October 10, get this cocktail and more at our stop at Dacha Navy Yard and taste the gin with special pours from 5 to 8 pm by Catoctin Creek Brand Ambassador, (and creator of the Pink Gin!), Avalon Oona Haas. Get access to the drink with your passport, or preorder your round by getting the Tasting Menu experience on the Crawl!
