Farmers Fishers Bakers, a Washington DC
cocktail staple, had a series of Tiki Farm mugs made for a selection of
drinks they no longer serve.This is the deep brown El Silencio Mayan
rabbit spirit mug from the "Silencio Nights" drink. It is 4.5" tall,
roughly 3.5" across, and 3.5" deep. It is in excellent like new condition. On the front is the FFB logo. It's a
really fantastic find that I am tempted to keep for myself, but I know
someone out there that collects Tiki as a passion will enjoy it
more.DCist (dot) com's May 26, 2016, article entitled "Classic
Cocktailist: Tiki Town Edition," by Nathan Wilkinson, is the only
reference to this I have found anywhere and contains the only picture I
have managed to find. The picture is the last one, and the relevant
excerpt is below:Farmers Fishers Bakers (3000 K Street NW) is perhaps
the D.C. restaurant most steeped in tiki tradition, with Zombie recipes
dating back to the thirties. "With our farm-to-still menu, we're a
classic cocktail bar," says head bartender Melinda Koepke, "but the tiki
movement came out of Prohibition when bartenders left the states and
brought back these tropical flavors."Koepke is showcasing FFB's
signature tikis in one-of-a-kind mugs. Start off with the " Silencio Nights"
,
proof that tikis are not all sweet rum drinks. It's dry, with smoky El
Silencio mezcal, bitter Aperol and Cynar amari, lime juice, and agave
nectar; just a touch of Ancho Reyes liqueur gives the drink a fiery
finish. It's served in mug that alludes to a Mayan legend of a rabbit
spirit, said to be a guardian of agave plants.
