Join us for a three part video series: BEHIND THE COCKTAIL, where we go behind the scenes of the cocktail from each of our three bartenders currently competing in the Virginia Spirits Cocktail Games, with their unique cocktails constructed around this year's theme of "Time In A Bottle." Explore the recipes for these incredible cocktails and the stories behind their inspiration!

Christopher Allen Kenworthy's "Rum Shaker" is built around a singular, pivotal moment in Virginia music history: the 1992 release of the hit song "Rump Shaker" by the Virginia Beach-based group Wreckx-N-Effect, featuring a writing credit from the coastal city's own Pharrell Williams. This song not only catapulted Virginia into the spotlight as a competitor to be reckoned with in the rising hip hop and recording artist industry, it launched the career of Pharrell Williams, who would go on to cement Virginia's place in the national hip hop scene along with his partner Chad Hugo, with whom he would form the legendary group The Neptunes.

The cocktail features Virago Spirits 151 Rum, whose tropical fruit notes and high octane provide the backbone of this mojito-style drink, upbeat and vibrant like the song. In tribute to the Filipino heritage of Chad Hugo, as well as Chris's own love of Filipino flavors, the cocktail incorporates syrups made from calamansi and ube (a citrus fruit and purple sweet potato, respectively, both native to the Philippines), as well as Thai basil and sugar cane. A splash of soda water and a few drops of saline provide the perfect flavor balance to the cocktail, and the eye-catching garnishes reflect the colorful exuberance of Pharrell Williams.

This one will definitely get you shaking your rump on the dance floor! Come try Chris's cocktail at The Catamount Lounge now!

Shenan Hahn's cocktail, "Old Medicine," is a tribute to the botanical medicine endemic to Appalachia. Before access to modern medicine was widespread, folk cures harnessed the healing power of native herbs, flowers, plants, and trees. This cocktail brings forward into the glass the oldest healing practices of our region, capturing a time when one's apothecary was sourced by hand from the life blooming all around them, and recipes and knowledge were passed from person to person.

The base of this cocktail is a root tea: a blend of dried edible roots steeped in hot water that families often each had their own distinct recipe for. Dandelion and chicory root compose this tea, both used to support liver health, digestion, and blood sugar. Amaro Averna provides a dark, sweet, sassafras-like note that reflects the sassafras commonly used in traditional root teas as well. The hickory tree -- whose bark was used as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent, treating everything from arthritis to respiratory issues -- is also incorporated in the form of a syrup, made by steeping shredded hickory bark in sugar and boiling water. Virginia-distilled Twin Creeks Distillery First Sugar Moonshine provides the backbone of the cocktail, as moonshine was considered its own kind of backwoods "medicine": restorative to the spirit, produced from the ingredients at hand in closely guarded locations and recipes. Finally, the cocktail is garnished with edible native flowers, a tribute to our relationship with the healing power of the natural world around us.

Come try Shenan's cocktail at The Catamount Lounge now!

Julieta Hernandez's "Royal Oak" was inspired by Virginia military history, and specifically the role that the Commonwealth played in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Featuring Deep Creek Distilling Co.'s Royall Rye, its very name is a tribute to the Civil War trails that cut through her hometown of Front Royal, and the battle command to "Front the royal oak tree!" from which the town's name was derived. The American (specifically, Virginia)-made rye is pitted against the British-made Pimm's No.1 and Angostura bitters in this riff on a Manhattan, reflecting the opposing forces of the Revolutionary War 250 years ago, and the rinse of French absinthe in the glass reflects the allies that helped us win the fight for American sovereignty. Perhaps most potently, a finish of cayenne pepper and oak smoke linger on the palette to remind the drinker of the gunfire of battle.

This cocktail is as complex as the history on our very soil, and reminds us that the ghosts of the past still reverberate on the ground we walk on today - and in our glasses. Try Julieta's drink at The Catamount Lounge now!
