Signature Experiences
INCREDIBLE MASTERCLASS
A Toast to History with the Mint Julep
Step behind the bar and into the pages of American history with our signature Mint Julep Masterclass. Hosted by Willard’s in-house mixologist, this hands-on experience dives into the art and ritual of crafting one of Washington’s most iconic cocktails—a drink forever linked to the Round Robin Bar and its legendary political guests.
Set in one of our private, elegantly appointed spaces or the unique History Gallery guests enjoy personalized instruction, historic anecdotes, and the chance to stir up their own Southern-inspired creation. It’s ideal for milestone birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette gatherings, or pre-dinner events with a twist of D.C. tradition.
