From November 1 to World AIDS Day on December 1, B&O American Brasserie is happy to help guests feel good about having a cocktail or two with the launch of “Cocktails for a Cure,” a month long initiative to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. Each time a guest purchases any of four cocktails prepared by Head Bartender Brendan Dorr, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants will donate $1 to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington, DC.

This year’s featured cocktails are $9 each and include:
- Grapefruit Spritz - Ketel One Citroen Vodka, Campari and fresh grapefruit juice sparked with club soda; - 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 wine;
- Morning Daiquiri - Ten Cane Rum, Grand Marnier shaken with fresh lime juice and orange    marmalade.

“‘Cocktails for a Cure’ is an opportunity for us to do our part in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This initiative raises funds for the thousands and thousands of those here in our community who are living with the disease,” said Toby Hughes, general manager of B&O American Brasserie.

“Cocktails for a Cure” is part of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants’ annual Red Ribbon Campaign. For over 20 years, the company has assisted HIV/AIDS service organizations across North America through employee volunteerism, educational campaigns, corporate donations, and fundraising events. In 2008, the Red Ribbon Campaign raised over $90,000 for local HIV/AIDS charities.

The Whitman-Walker Clinic is the largest nongovernmental HIV and AIDS medical and service organization in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Clinic provides health care to thousands of people in our community with specialty care for the LGBT community and those living with HIV/AIDS.
