Cocktail Bar Handshake Speakeasy To Take Over Bourbon Steak DC
Handshake Speakeasy, an award-winning cocktail bar based in Mexico City, Mexico, is known for its innovative bar program and approach to crafting cocktails. Handshake Speakeasy will host a special, cherry blossom-themed takeover of Bourbon Steak DC, featuring cocktails perfect for the celebration of the blooming trees to come.
This coming Friday (March 27) and Saturday (March 28), Bourbon Steak DC, nestled inside the iconic Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., will play host to Handshake Speakeasy, allowing the famed bar staff to bring a pair of original cocktails to the menu for Cherry Blossom Season. Handshake was recently named the #2 bar in the world by The World’s 50 Best Bars list.
The event also serves as a showcase for Four Seasons DC’s Cherry Blossom decor by designer Jeff Leatham, which can be viewed in the lobby space. Visitors will no doubt take in the sights, but also have access to a grouping of cocktails created by the Handshake and Bourbon Steak DC bar teams.
For visitors at this weekend’s event, Leatham will be unveiling a new design on Friday.
