Cocktails for a Cure

What could be better than relaxing with an after-work cocktail at the gleaming new bar at B&O Brasserie? How about knowing that a portion of the money you spent on that libation is going to fight HIV/AIDS.

Throughout November, the restaurant will donate $1 to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington each time a guest orders one of four featured cocktails. The clinic focuses on HIV/AIDS education, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The featured cocktails are:

• Grapefruit Spritz - Ketel One Citroen vodka, Campari, and fresh grapefruit juice
• Bad Apple - Don Julio silver tequila, Lillet, Angostura bitters, apple juice, and ginger beer
• Orange Blossom Fizz - Belvedere Orange, St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, pineapple juice and sparkling
• Morning Daiquiri - Ten Cane rum, Grand Marnier shaken with fresh lime juice and orange marmalade

They all sound delicious, don't they? If forced to choose, I'd probably go with the Morning Daiquiri, but knowing $1 from each $9 cocktail goes to such a good cause, I just might have to try them all.
