Toasting the end of the week with a variation on the White Lady cocktail using Martini ratios—2.5oz Botanist Gin, 0.25oz Cointreau, 0.25oz Meyer lemon juice, 1 dash orange bitters. A refreshing cocktail for an unseasonably muggy evening. Cheers! The Sagamore 10 Year Rye. I’ll be sad when this one’s gone. The kind of bottle that tempts me to break my No Bunkering rule. Pure rye whiskey goodness. Cheers! Best staycation getaway in SF. (iykyk) And a glass of Old Potrero Rye, the local sauce, suits this rustic 1906 rooftop joint perfectly, with its classic San Francisco views. Cheers!
