The Giving Drink A Recipe From AKB Tysons
“Everyone has something to give and every act of generosity counts.”
The mantra of #GivingTuesday strikes a chord particularly around the holidays. Our very own Patrick Ocampo, lead bartender at AKB Tysons, created this festive Giving Drink cocktail as a nod to the global generosity movement.
Available November 15, 2022 – January 1, 2023, at all AKB hotel bars (six across the Archer Hotel collection), $2 per drink will be donated to No Kid Hungry, an organization on a mission to help end childhood hunger in the United States.
Save this recipe (makes a batch with 50 servings) and make The Giving Drink at home. Cheers to toasting with family and friends!
