The Waldorf cocktail – Mission Bowling Club

The Waldorf cocktail - Mission Bowling Club

Classic cocktail with Bulleit rye, sweet vermouth, absinthe, bitters. $10
Mission Bowling Club, San Francisco CA

Hmm, I love Manhattans but the addition of absinthe is hit or miss for me. This drink was too absinthe-y for my taste so I thought the cocktail was just ok.

Jerk spiced duck hearts – The Alembic

Jerk spiced duck hearts - The Alembic
With pickled pineapple and thyme salt. $5
The Alembic, San Francisco CA

These were tasty, but you really only need a piece or two. After that, it becomes too rich to eat. Thank goodness for the pickled pineapple’s acidity to cut through the richness of the duck hearts.
