A French-style Bike will Deliver St-Germain Cocktails to You

Ride-hailing service company Uber is known for its zany on-demand delivery stunts like Uber Kittens and Uber Ice Cream, which is now offered globally. Now, it has partnered with Bacardi to bring you, what else, drinks on demand with the launch of its St-Germain Biketender.
If you’re downtown on Friday, July 31 from 2 to 6 p.m. or on Capitol Hill on Saturday, August 1 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., tap your Uber app and one of our very own local bartenders (Tin Table’s Logan Chinn, Jana Howard of Vito’s and Zig Zag Cafe’s Kevin Orbis, to name a few) will hail it over to you via a custom-built, French tri-pourteur-style bicycle to mix up a summery and sparkly St-Germain cocktail. Bonus: You get to keep all the cocktail ingredients used (bottle of St-Germain liqueur, prosecco, sparkling water, lemons) and the fancy, glass carafe–complete with painted fill marks for measuring your ingredients–in which the bevvie is mixed.
According to a press release regarding the promotion, the experience is “in honor of St-Germain’s ‘Vive the Daylife’ philosophy and encourages us “to slow down, celebrate, and connect with the world around us.” Duly noted, Biketenders.
Details: $48; tap your Uber app on Friday, July 31 (downtown) from 2 to 6 p.m. or Saturday, August 1 (Capitol Hill) from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
