No one else is making cocktails like these in D.C., and the novel ingredients should entice you if nothing else does.

And if you haven’t been already, you should go too. I will certainly be back to try the two I missed. But I acknowledge confounding factors (second cocktail, more time since the end of the work day) potentially were at play. For what it’s worth, I did feel the stress of the work day lifting about halfway through this drink. As with the first drink there were herbal and earthy flavors that I didn’t recognize and presumably were attributable to the TCM ingredients. The second was the Peruvian Chef in a Chinese Kitchen (anxiety): It had a pleasant citrus and earthy flavor combination (the TCM ingredients definitely have an impact here). This one ended up being my favorite of the two. The first was the Bird Market (immune system): Second, in a warning almost certainly calculated to get you to order at least three of these cocktails, the menu advises that because of the holistic “nature of the recipes we recommend no more than 2 of these cocktails per visit.”īut I’m a rule-follower so this Jedi mind-trick does not work on me, and I order just two. Also, this statement is not remotely FDA-approved uh, always consult your physician.) (At last, vindication that alcohol is the cure-all I always knew it was. Nathan Road aids – perhaps counter-intuitively, for a cocktail – detox.

The 8 O’clock Light Show, for example, addresses fatigue.

First, Tiger Fork’s drinks are listed not merely by name but also by intended medicinal effect. There is no question that the TCM cocktails are the feature here. I realize no one dines at 6 – I’m old – but it is a reasonable cocktail hour, so if that’s your focus you probably can walk in.) Tiger Fork’s interior has great vibe – cozy with warm lighting, like many of its Blagden Alley neighbors. (It was more crowded when we left a few hours later. on a Thursday, the time of our reservation. Reservations are recommended here, but for what it’s worth there was ample room for walk-ins at 6 p.m. I had read about Tiger Fork’s novel Traditional Chinese Medicine (“TCM”) cocktails in the Post’s Going Out Guide, and I was excited to try them out myself.

I finally got over to Tiger Fork last week, when I met up with some friends there for dinner.
