Cocktail hour used to be a thing. Turns out, still is.
Tom Collins with a squeeze of lemon. Bourbon up with an olive or two. Classic sidecar with a hint of lemon.
And if ever so briefly, time stands still.
Our talented barkeeps — alchemists, every one — get a kick out of experimenting behind the bar. They’ve perfected the classics (looking at you, old fashioned) and crafted these new cocktails worthy of being copied at home.

February Lo-va-ble AKB Falls Church
Inspired by Virginia's timeless charm and iconic slogan — Virginia is for Lovers — the loVAable cocktail celebrates the state's rich history, diverse landscapes, and endless love stories. Whether you're a lover of the mountains, the coast, or simply good company this cocktail invites you to toast to all the things Virginia is truly loved for. Available during the month of February — exclusively at AKB in Archer Hotel Falls Church.
March Butterfly Effect AKB Tysons
The Butterfly Effect cocktail captures the essence of Northern Virginia’s natural beauty and reminds us that even the smallest actions can create a ripple that leaves a lasting impact. With house-made lavender syrup and Empress 1908 gin — known for its deep indigo color — this drink reflects the region’s lush flora and fauna. Available exclusively during the month of March at AKB in Archer Hotel Tysons.
April District Awakening Spyglass Rooftop Bar
District Awakening is our tribute to New York City’s reawakening — shaking off winter’s slumber and bursting into the vibrant hues of spring. This cocktail captures Manhattan’s essence with bold rum notes and the golden glow of mango, mirroring the city's energy and renewal. Experience it exclusively at Spyglass, atop Archer Hotel New York, this April.
