  • Who Am I
    WHO AM I? A Third Party Martini

    This Cocktail is inspired by the opening words of Admiral James B. Stockdale who took the stage at the 1992 Vice Presidential Debate as a relatively unknown Navy Medal of Honor winner and the running mate of independent candidate and businessman Ross Perot.
    This cocktail is a tart, third-party take on a classic vodka martini, you see the "B" in his name stands for Bond, James Bond, James Bond Stockdale. 
    Add a dash of lemon bitters and pour into a chilled glass over lychee boba pearls.  Get it shaken or stirred, no olives, just the pearls, please!

    Who Am I?

    Grey Goose Vodka & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth,
    Fee Brother's Lemon Bitters,
    Lychee Boba Pearls

    'Who am I? Why am I here? -  Admiral James B. Stockdale

WE ARE THE SPOTTED ZEBRA
Many ask about our name, well it is whimsical, and one might say esoteric, and derives from a misquote by a prominent former US Senator from Tennessee, who confidently proclaimed, "A zebra does not change its spots". In this new DC hot-SPOT, we shine a tongue-in-cheek SPOT-light on the contradictory, and often irreverent and humorous words from politics. They are woven into the names of dishes and cocktails and found on the top of tables, the bar, and people's minds.  Click Here To Learn More
