Washington bar offers presidential cocktails to mark the inauguration

Friday January 18, 2013 4:15 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Willard hotel has been a capital city favorite of presidents going back to the early 1800s, and its famous bar is offering up a menu of presidential cocktails to mark the inauguration.

The Round Robin Bar has drink honoring every president, and several for President Obama -- including a nod to his roots with the Blue Hawaiian and the Barack Obama Presidential Mojito.

Bartender Jim Hewes (hyooz) says it's like a traditional mojito, but with some twists that result in a red, white and blue glow through the crushed ice.

Hewes says if that doesn't sound appealing, there's always Lincoln's Log Cabin Cider.
