Tracy @ Beacon Hotel Bar, Washington D.C.

Sometimes it's the simple things that give life an unexpected infusion of pleasure. Such were the pomegranate martinis at the Beacon Hotel Bar. Equal parts simple syrup and pomegranate juice, one ounce of Hangar One Lime Infused Vodka, and a sugary rim - the recipe for a momentary respite from life's incessant affronts. We liked them so much we had three. Each.

Now she has a permanent place at the bar, right under the nearest rosebush. L' Chaim, Trace.
