While in San Francisco, Erin took us to one of grab one of her favorite cocktails before we headed to dinner. Known as "the Recoil", this delicious cocktail is served in a Mason Jar (love) and is likened to a twist on a whisky sour, perfect for those who enjoy the taste of bourbon or whisky and something sweet but not too sweet. Of course I had to get the recipe as I cannot wait until the next time I am in San Francisco for this perfect concoction:
1.5 oz quality bourbon
.5 oz St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
.5 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and shake the bourbon, St. Germain & lime juice. Strain into a pint Mason jar filled with ice and top with the ginger beer. Garnish with a lime, give a toast and enjoy!
P.S. For those of you who were wondering, this community art scene was spotted on the corner of Valencia & 19th in the Mission. Hope you enjoyed a wonderful long weekend!

Mmmm sounds delicious Mary!
ooo that does sound good! take out the liqueur and swap bourbon for rum and you have a dark & stormy {my personal fav}. it's apparently australian {the hubby is australian so he's always introducing me to aussie things}, but really i'll be happy with anything that has rum or bourbon or whiskey in it. mmm! i'll have to try this soon.
oh and might i add, bundaberg is an awesome type of ginger beer {and aussie approved}. :)
YUM-SF is definitely my favorite cocktail city!
mason jars just make drinks look and taste even better, dont they?!!
