Cotton & Reed
If you’re wandering around Union Market, Cotton & Reid is a go-to stop. It’s DC’s first rum distillery and cocktail bar, with inventive all-rum drinks in a raw industrial-meets-modern space. You’ll find signature sips like the fizzy Redbeard (white rum, ginger, Campari, lemon), the frozen Cocomotion, or the rich Babylon Sisters. No beer or wine—just rum done right. Tours happen Saturdays and include a flight and cocktail, or swing by any night—no reservations needed. Rum fans, cocktail lovers, or curious locals, it’s one of DC’s coolest tasting-room destinations.
