At Swingers Dupont Circle, Black History Month is more than a moment; it’s a commitment to creating inclusive experiences and uplifting voices that deserve to be heard year-round.

We're extending Black History Month this year to continue the celebration. Mark your calendars: January 21 – March 31, 2025.


Bartenders from Swingers Dupont Circle created cocktails for Black History Month using Black-owned spirits.

Savor the Spirit

We invited our bartenders to craft cocktails featuring exceptional Black-owned liquor brands that inspire them. We’re proud to serve:

  • Bayab African Grown Gin
  • Sorel Liqueur
  • Ten to One Rum

$1 from every cocktail sold will benefit the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, an organization dedicated to providing students with diverse backgrounds financial assistance for higher education.
