Mark Your Calendars: Artini

Throughout the month of March, 12 of the city's top mixologists will compete to create the most artistic martini; each artini is inspired by a work featured in the current exhibition A Love of Europe: Highlights from the William A. Clark Collection. Visit the participating restaurants all month long to sample the 12 artinis, and vote for your favorite at www.washingtonian.com/artini.

Then, join the 1869 Society for the culminating ARTINI benefit, where your votes for the winning artini will be revealed.
