Friendsgiving Offers Innovative Cocktails, a Spin on Classic Food, Fun
As I walked into the Kitchen + Kocktails’ late November Friendsgiving event, sponsored by Remy Martin, I was greeted by a mix of excitement and the scent of their holiday menu. The event, a modern twist on traditional gatherings, was not just a feast but also a vibe.
The highlight of the evening was the innovative cocktails, especially the reimagined Sidecar featuring Remy Martin. This classic drink was transformed, offering a familiar yet unique taste that perfectly complemented the evening’s energy.
The food, particularly the stuffing — or dressing, depending on your vernacular — was a standout. It was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and surprisingly sophisticated. It exemplified the culinary expertise that Kitchen + Kocktails is known for.
The vibe of the Nov. 22 event was mixy. A great DJ kept the diverse crowd jamming, and a blend of DMV-based models, media, and content creators, added to the night’s allure. It was a gathering that truly represented the spirit of Friendsgiving.
