Dining Out: Pepsi-Cola's 1893 Craft Soda Cocktails at Himitsu

On August 16th, Carlie Steiner, an 1893 Top Shelf Bartender in DC, invited guests to her new DC restaurant Himitsu to try cola-based cocktails and Japanese dishes. The creators of Pepsi-Cola made 1893, a premium craft cola inspired by the original recipes made by the founder of Pepsi-Cola, Caleb Bradham, in 1893. This cola blend has premium ingredients, including kola nut extract, real sugar and sparkling water. On Wednesday, Steiner created multiple modern cocktails that included the 1893 Original Cola, Citrus Cola, Black Currant Cola, and Ginger Cola. The Cocktail list and recipes can be found below.
