For cocktail lovers who go to bars like the Alembic and Cantina, and speakeasies like Bourbon & Branch and Wilson & Wilson.

They have an array of bar ingredients and are probably already making their own syrups and bitters.

Part history, part collection of classic recipes, each of the 25 featured recipes (The Martinez; Mai Tai; Pisco Punch; Highball; Negroni, and 20 more) tells the story of how San Francisco became one of the most iconic cocktail cities in the world.
Sales Handle: For serious and adventurous cocktail lovers, this chunky little collection features the 25 cocktails that defined San Francisco and the stories behind them, plus 100 recipes (25 featured and 75 cocktail offshoots, bitters, bartender mixes).
