Aiding in the artistic craft of the signature French flare cocktails are the exotic bees found in the rooftop beehives. Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square takes pride in recruiting this selection of bees to provide organic honey featured in select cocktails. Along with helping pollinate local trees and flowers throughout the city, the respected bees create a defining ingredient in Opaline’s Bee Mine cocktail. The drink is a delicate mixture of Tanqueray, Saint Germain, and Sofitel “Le Miel” – the honey produced by the bees. The versatile beverage program at Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square is unmatched for these unique French renditions on classic cocktails. Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square is situated in the heart of Washington and aims to highlight the culture and lifestyle reflected in the city. Although current trends triumph, tradition is made relevant with respectful nods to French culture found in décor elements, cocktails cre- ations and Opaline Bar & Brasserie’s culinary artistry. Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square is a comforting scene where modern culture and traditional elegance collide in perfect harmony. www.opalineDC.com
