Miss the World Cocktail Week celebration in DC a few weeks ago at Proof? No worries. You can read my Wine Enthusiast recap here. (I'll also be doing a piece for the print edition of another publication in a month or so, so stay tuned.)
The recap doesn't list all the juicy details, so here are the 10 cocktails we sampled that night. My favorites were the spa-like Cucumber Milk Punch, the citrusy and refreshing Rose's Bitter Punch, and the funky, aromatic Eye Ball Kid. But I also really dig beets, so I was loving the Alice and Vincent, too.
