Stone Sour cocktail - Luce

Stone Sour: Knob Creek bourbon, fresh lemon and blood orange juice, shaken with barrel-aged syrup and served tall on the rocks with brandied cherries. $12
Luce, San Francisco CA

The cocktails at Luce were really fun and delicious. Each one had several ingredients and they all generally worked well together. The Stone Sour was probably my favorite because it had bourbon, but the Moscone Pear was tasty in its own way.

The Rookery cocktail - Basil Thai Restaurant

Camarena Reposada tequila, Mt. Gay rum, blood orange, lime juice, lemongrass simple syrup, soda. $10
Basil Thai Restaurant, Charleston SC

This cocktail had a great combination of sweet, tart, refreshing, and flavor. I love color in my cocktails and this one had a beautiful soft peach color.

Ripley Point Marina. I’m not sure if I’d stay on this side of the river on future visits, but it was good to try it.

Wow, this drink was a meal! I loved the boot-shaped glass that it came in and they give you plenty of pickled veggies.

Blood orange mimosa Cheeky's

Fresh blood orange mimosa. $11
I loved the color of this mimosa. I just wish that it has a more intense blood orange flavor. It tasted a little bland.
