Anju
1805 18th St., NW
The Dupont Circle Korean restaurant lives up to its name—”Anju” means food consumed while drinking — with an $11 cocktail and mandu dumpling pairing. Wash down the pan-fried pork and kimchi dumplings with sage and pear-infused makkoli (sparkling Korean rice wine).
Compass Rose
1346 T St., NW
You can take a $15 trip to the Caribbean at Rose Previte’s globetrotting restaurant. Bartenders are shaking up a tropical hibiscus and gin cocktail matched with allspice curried lamb.
1201 K St., NW
If you’re already listening to Christmas music, head to
Tim Ma‘s spot in the Eaton hotel for a gingerbread drink that blends cognac, ginger spice, and genever. For $18, the nostalgic gingerbread flavors are paired with duck leg rillette and blackberry jam on toasted challah bread. At lobby cocktail bar
Allegory, the $21 deal covers another dressed up toast with rabbit bacon and a boozy cafe
con leche.
Tiger Fork

Clarendon’s Balkan cocktail bar and cafe is offering three different deals at three different price points.
