At this whiskey and bourbon hub, danger lovers might want to sip on a Surgeon General’s Warning named for the tobacco syrup that accompanies Old Bardstown bourbon, cherry heering, orange and lemon. Or there’s the spicy Mezcal-derived Jalepeno Face, which could double as a wise crack. And a Stoli vodka-based Walk of Shame — also featuring house-made grenadine, rhubarb bitters, lime and simple syrup — just might lead to a real one.

Quirky meets gin in the concoction Tennis is Less Boring When You’re Drunk. John McEnroe may or may not approve, but the refreshing cocktail has Pimm’s, ginger, raspberry, cucumber and dolin blanc playing together with the Hendrick’s gin. For a darker, nerdier-sounding drink at the Silver Spring joint, there’s always The Tweed Jacket, showcasing rye whiskey infused with black raisins.

Jesus, take note. The former firehouse-turned bar and restaurant is telling patrons — with Smith and Cross Jamaican rum, old overholt rye, honey and whiskey barrels bitters — to Get off Your Cross. Or, for fans of Milagro Posado tequila, there’s a Gold Plated Gun, which has Dolin blanc vermouth, orchard apricot and Cynar.

It should come as no surprise that this frequent date locale and chocolate boutique would play up a slightly risque sex theme in its drinks. Among the lustful selections on the Signature Sips menu are Allure (lychee, bubbly, rose water and fresh lime juice) and Fetish (chocolate-infused vodka, strawberry foam, chocolate-dipped berry).

The W Hotel’s rooftop destination is famously close to the president’s residence — and reportedly is watched over by Secret Service — which is why the lounge plays up its unique geographic proximity with its seasonal spirit Where is the White House combining rum, pineapple coconut and orange.

Over the years, mixologist Todd Thrasher has come up with some storied cocktails, both for their tasty contents and their witty titles. At PX, when chef Cathal Armstrong was trying to quit smoking the result was Smoker’s Delight with old Virginia tobacco and Virginia honey. After being disqualified from a bartending competition, he created I Cuddah Binnah Contendah (Barbancourt rum, Domaine de Canton, pineapple and cilantro) to poke fun at his blunder and reference the Marlon Brando classic “On the Waterfront.” And everyone remembers one drink from TNT's opening menu: the Slash-inspired Cocktail Left on the Nightstand

On its menu of “Cocktails and Dreams,” Ripple’s bartenders mix up A Shrub is a Guy Who Thinks He’s Fly (charred grapefruit and toasted coriander shrub, soda and citrus). It’s non-alcoholic and a mouthful, but it might have enough attitude for the ladies of TLC and the busters calling on them. For a play on a more old-school song, courtesy of Irving Berling, try the Puttin’ on the Spritz with aperol and lemongrass juniper soda.
